When I'm directing, I'm pretty much not writing, but when I'm not directing I am writing a lot.

I don't put big concepts on my work, and it's all often about keeping actors in a room together and not letting them leave.

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'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.

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

I don't like the sort of hierarchical, totalitarian type of room a lot of directors can find themselves in.

I think, for me, when I direct my own work it's just an extension of the authorship.
