I Was A Very Self-righteous

I Ended Up Becoming A Playwright Because You Can Be Grammatically Incorrect: People Speaking In Bad Poetry Or People Attempting To Speak Well And Sometimes Succeeding And Sometimes Failing. The Whole Imperfection Of It Suddenly Felt Freeing To Me.

I Don't Enjoy Hearing The Sound Of My Voice. The Most Important Things For Me Are Impossible To Articulate Extemporaneously.

I'm Very Interested In Silence. And, More Importantly, In What Happens When People Aren't Talking On Stage. I'm Interested In Letting Actors Play And Do Things Between The Lines. And In Slowing Everything Down.

Writing Is My Primary Way Of Expressing Myself.

I'm Terrible At Speaking Extemporaneously About My Work - I Get Completely Tongue-tied And Consumed With Fear.
