I hate going to bed. I read scripts, clean, listen to the radio - I've fallen asleep to 'This American Life' more times than I can count!

When I'm writing, I look like a fool because the parts are moving through me and I'm crying and laughing and making faces.

I think action should be revealed through character, so if you have a plot problem, it's probably a character problem.

If I'm not working, I don't feel complete.

I think, a lot of times, directors assume that whatever they get from you the first time, whether it be at an audition or on set, is all that you can bring.

I find playwriting to be incredibly difficult compared to screenwriting. Part of it is that I grew up watching movies and not watching plays.

I don't feel like I have a super straightforward relationship with the idea of fame. It makes me sort of level things out in my own brain almost immediately when I meet someone.
