If you can go through life without experiencing pain you probably haven't been born yet.

Writing is an escape from a world that crowds me. I like being alone in a room. It's almost a form of meditation- an investigation of my own life. It has nothing to do with "I've got to get another play

I felt like writing about a time when I was probably, and I think all of us are, the happiest in our lives-before the obligations start in.

Normally, in anything I do, I'm fairly miserable. I do it, and I get grumpy because there is a huge, vast gulf, this aching disparity, between the platonic ideal of the project that was living in my head, and the small, sad, wizened, shaking, squeaking thing that I actually produce.

I love living. I have some problems with my life, but living is the best thing they've come up with so far.
