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.

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

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.

You can always count on the New York Times to cut your legs off.

When it's just a few scenes and a couple of actors behaving in a room, I feel very confident with that.

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.

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

I began stealing a lot of ideas from other directors I had worked with.

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 feel that I am just a storyteller, and whether I am wearing the director hat or the playwright hat, it doesn't matter.

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.

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.

I feel that I'd rather know an actors' work, or have an instinct about them and sit down and have coffee with them, or I'll see them in something and I'll see if I can get along with them in some way, shape, or form.

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.

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

I just love working with actors, and I love working with writers, working with designers.

A typical day for me is I'm writing when I'm not directing.

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.

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