Whenever I've been in rehearsals, it's really fun, there's always laughing.
Adam Rapp
It's been hard for me to not write, and that's the only process I can speak to I guess, it's so compulsive and I need to do it all the time that sometimes I make myself not do it so I can actually tend to my life.
Adam Rapp
My life has been in shambles, like my personal relationships, my laundry, paying bills now I have someone who pays my bills and it's always been a challenge because it overwhelms me.

When it's just a few scenes and a couple of actors behaving in a room, I feel very confident with that.

Man, that's the only kind of book I like one that's so real you want to find out everything there is to know about the person who wrote it, like how tall he is and what kind of music he likes and whether or not he really went through all the stuff he was writing about.

Adam Rapp
I think I'm a little more daunted by when the machinery of the play is really huge.
Adam Rapp
I try not to write more than two or three, I try to just write one if possible, I write till the end at least a draft of a play or a novel but sometimes, I'll take a break for a couple weeks for a project that is paying me money like a television project which I try to stay away from just to stay financially ahead of the game.
Adam Rapp
I think because my brother was an actor and I just saw how he struggled through, I guess I'm sensitive to it.
Adam Rapp
When I am directing, it is much, much, much, much, much different. I'm a much more practical person in the world, I show up on time, I am very rigorous about scheduling, and I am very focused. But when I'm writing I am just a big, irresponsible mess and I'm just impossible to get in touch with, and I don't spend time with friends.
Adam Rapp
I've never really felt that I've had the right hair cut, or had the right clothes.
Adam Rapp
You have to escape to survive, as you must survive to escape.
Adam Rapp
You can always count on the New York Times to cut your legs off.

I don't put big concepts on my work, and it's all often about keeping actors in a room together and not letting them leave.
Adam Rapp
What I've learned in the last few years is that I am merely a storyteller.

I suffer from and enjoy an incredibly vivid dream life. A lot of times there is a sort-of narrative and other times they are just funhouses of non-linear imagery and other scary stuff.
