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.

It just happens quicker and faster now.

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.

What I've learned in the last few years is that I am merely a storyteller.

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.

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.

I had a sort of bad experiences as a playwright early on, when directors were putting in huge concepts that I didn't intend, or they were stylizing something that was compromising the play, so I started to think like, well if I'm going to fight against this, I should learn how to direct.

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.
