If Anything, I Was The

Writing Is My Primary Way Of Expressing Myself.

For Early Plays Of Mine, I Started With Character. But I Think That's Because I Hadn't Been In Theaters; I Hadn't Worked That Much. I'm Very Interested In Character, Obviously, But Once I Started Having My Plays Produced, I Became So Fascinated By The Theatrical Experiment And The Weirdness Of Theatrical Space, So Now All My Plays Start With Space And Stage Picture And Setting - Or Container Is Maybe The Better Way To Put It.

I Feel Like My Life Is At Its Happiest When I Don't Have A Looming Deadline. There's Some Really Groovy Wonderful Times, When I'm Like, "i Have A New Piece, I'm Excited About It, I'm Reading All These Books About It, But There's Not A Lot Of Time Pressure, And I'm Financially Stable Enough Right Now That I Don't Have To Be Trying To Get Another Job." But That's So Rare.

If I Were Less Lazy, When My Play Was Published, I Would Go And Rewrite Everything For The Reader. But I Don't Do That. What People Are Reading Is Just Me Trying To Get The Actors And Directors To Do Something Or Think About Something.

I Was A Very Self-righteous 15-25 Year Old. Anyway, I Wake Up Every Morning And Thank God I'm Not A Kid Anymore.
