I listen to music constantly while writing.

You know how writers are... they create themselves as they create their work. Or perhaps they create their work in order to create themselves.

Music isn't just a pleasure, a transient satisfaction. It's a need, a deep hunger; and when the music is right, it's joy. Love. A foretaste of heaven. A comfort in grief.

Is it too much to think that perhaps God speaks to us sometimes through music?

How, then, could I be so ungrateful as to refuse the message?

Stories are invented as you go along...

There is more good writing and good acting in any ten minutes of Twister than in, say, all of Citizen Kane.

I fell into playwriting accidentally, took some classes in it, and also took creative writing classes, but I really didn't expect it to be a career because I didn't believe there was a way to make money as a playwright without being lucky and I didn't feel particularly lucky.
