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

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.

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

One of the tricks to writing great plays is to get people in a room together and not let them leave. You want the tension to escalate. Keeping them there is the hardest part, so you have to take away any excuse for them to leave.

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.

Fifteen years ago I killed my sister.

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 would hope that the staffs at juvenile detention centers and reform schools are carefully chosen so that there is a community of support and hope.
Adam Rapp
I dont see a lot of movies that portray the East Village as well as I think they can.
Adam Rapp
It's strange, people have asked me what my schedule is and what is my process like, and I can't even answer it.
Adam Rapp
When I'm directing, I'm pretty much not writing, but when I'm not directing I am writing a lot.
Adam Rapp
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
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.
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.
