There’s something strange about theater. My characters consistently demonize elitism, but of course it’s taking place in a theater where only so many people can see it.

I don't go to movies, I don't own a television, I don't buy magazines and I try not to receive mail, so I'm not really aware of popular culture.

A lot of times the character's experience is not in accordance with the tone of the movie and it's not really my job to account for the tone of the movie. That's the director's job.
