When I feel that something I'm writing is going well, everything in my life is good and the things in my life that aren't good are completely manageable. If it's not going well, Miss America could be standing there in a swimsuit handing me a nobel price and I wouldn't be happy about it

I love writing. I'm not particularly comfortable in the actual world - I'm much more comfortable on the page. So if I could have a life where I could just slip the pages under the door and somebody would slip me a meal back, then that would be perfect for me.

The real problem with all drugs is that they work. Fantastically. They're great, right up until the moment they kill you.

Humans know when it's not a good story. Unless you do this for a living, you may not know exactly why you don't like a story, but you can't fool an audience ever. They know when you have it and they know when you don't.

Writers are opposite of athletes, they get better with age

Develop your own compass, and trust it. Take risks, dare to fail, remember the first person through the wall always gets hurt.

I'm a playwright. All I care about is the play being good.

I grew up in the theatre. It's where I got my start. Writing a television drama with theatrical dialogue about the theatre is beyond perfection.

As an audience member, I like the sound of something that's been written - I like it to sound written. And then, of course, you can't do it without the musicians who can play it.

Rule of storytelling: When a character is shoved against a wall, shove them against a wall harder.

Decisions are made by those who show up. Don't ever forget that you're a citizen of this world.
