Quote

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.

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.

Sometimes when I'm directing, the stage manager will have a good idea and that's okay with me.

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.

You can't run forever. There's only so much pavement that the road makers lay down. After a while, the highway quits going north and it just turns into sky. And you can't go anywhere in the sky unless you have a plane or some kind of rocket.

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

There must be some unwritten law that says about fifty people have to move into your house when somebody dies. If it weren't for the smell of death clinging to the walls, you might think it was your family's turn to host the month neighborhood potluck supper.

Whenever I've been in rehearsals, it's really fun, there's always laughing.

The rooms I tend to be in are pretty democratic and the best idea wins.

I've never really felt that I've had the right hair cut, or had the right clothes.

I think I'm a little more daunted by when the machinery of the play is really huge.

It's strange, people have asked me what my schedule is and what is my process like, and I can't even answer it.

It was like losing an important weight-bearing bone, and I knew I would spend the rest of my life trying to figure out how to walk the streets without it.

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.
