My work is always more emotional than I am. My characters say things to each other that I get accused of not being able to say to my girlfriend.

I am better able to retract what I did not say than what I did.

When I'm directing, I'm pretty much not writing, but when I'm not directing I am writing a lot. It's strange: people have asked me what my schedule is and what is my process like, and I can't even answer it. I don't keep regular hours.

I am not really ever accused of being shy or meek.

I just love working with actors, and I love working with writers, working with designers. I feel that I am just a storyteller, and whether I am wearing the director hat or the playwright hat, it doesn't matter. And the rooms I tend to be in are pretty democratic, and the best idea wins.

It's impossible to be more flat-chested than I am.
