More quotes by Adam Rapp
You have to escape to survive, as you must survive to escape.
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
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
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
I just love working with actors, and I love working with writers, working with designers.

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

Adam Rapp
What I've learned in the last few years is that I am merely a storyteller.
Adam Rapp
We only have so much time.... Time will kill you it really will.
Adam Rapp
I think I'm a little more daunted by when the machinery of the play is really huge.
Adam Rapp
Whenever I've been in rehearsals, it's really fun, there's always laughing.
Adam Rapp
I think auditioning can be very reductive and I just hate how actors work really hard and most of them aren't going to get the job, and I hate putting them through that.
Adam Rapp
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.
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
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
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 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.
