More quotes by Adam Rapp
I grew up eating hamburger helper, macaroni and cheese, and drinking lots of milk, and looked at lots of cows but I feel like a New Yorker now, I've lived here for sixteen years.
Adam Rapp
You have to escape to survive, as you must survive to escape.
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
A typical day for me is I'm writing when I'm not directing.
Adam Rapp
I think I'm a little more daunted by when the machinery of the play is really huge.

In Chekhov, when people leave, a carriage is taking them away forever. The stakes are so high just for someone to make a simple exit. And now we have all this access to public transportation, automobiles and jets and the Internet we're so easily distracted, but the world is still designed to destroy you. It just happens quicker and faster now.
Adam Rapp
The rooms I tend to be in are pretty democratic and the best idea wins.

I find auditioning to be a very illusive process, where actors come in with this really big result with no process, so it's a lie already at work.
Adam Rapp
I think there is a complicated side effect to overcoming evil in that we are forever changed by it. I think after we ingest some of the cruelty of the world, it takes years off of our lives, but it also gives us wisdom and a little grace, hopefully a sense of compassion.
Adam Rapp
I imagine a soul is a little perfect crystal egg floating in your chest. Somewhere deeper than where they put your heart. Somewhere so deep inside that the doctors can't find it with all their machines and microcameras.
Adam Rapp
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
I feel that I am just a storyteller, and whether I am wearing the director hat or the playwright hat, it doesn't matter.
Adam Rapp
We only have so much time.... Time will kill you it really will.
Adam Rapp
What I've learned in the last few years is that I am merely a storyteller.
Adam Rapp
I don't mind him not talking so much, because you can hear his voice in your heart the same way you can hear a song in your head even if there isn't a radio playing the same way you can hear those blackbirds flying when they're not in the sky
Adam Rapp
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
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
I've been living in Portland for five months and I'm not sure how I feel about it. I probably won't really know for years because that's how it works right? You don't really develop feelings about a place till you've left it. It's like a girl or a dog.
Adam Rapp
I find that more and more I'm trying to entertain myself when I'm working, because I know the work's going to go to a horrible place.
