A typical day for me is I'm writing when I'm not directing.
Adam Rapp
You have to escape to survive, as you must survive to escape.

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.

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

I try not to write more than two or three, I try to just write one if possible, I write till the end at least a draft of a play or a novel but sometimes, I'll take a break for a couple weeks for a project that is paying me money like a television project which I try to stay away from just to stay financially ahead of the game.

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

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 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
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
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
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.

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

We only have so much time.... Time will kill you it really will.
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
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.
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.
