I love playing other people's work. I love acting.

I write my plays to create an excuse for full-tilt acting and performing.

I started acting when I was in high school, started writing when I got to New York in 1975.

I'm not a light-hearted person, so I can't think light-hearted at work.

I'm always surprised by things that happen to my work.

I write for an audience that likes what I like, reads what I read, thinks about the things I think about. In many ways, this puts me in opposition to the people who go to the theater generally.
