There are places where writing is acting and acting is writing. I'm not so interested in the divisions. I'm interested in the way things cross over.

All good writing comes out of aloneness.

It's funny, in a way the actor is a writer. It's not like the two things are so separate as to be like apples and oranges. The writer and the actor are one.

I’ve heard writers talk about “discovering a voice,” but for me that wasn’t a problem. There were so many voices that I didn’t know where to start.

I've been so spoiled in the theater, writing plays where I can just do exactly what I want and nobody messes with me.

The great thing for me, now, is that writing has become more and more interesting. Not just as a craft but as a way into things that are not described. It's a thing of discovering. That's when writing is really working. You're on the trail of something, and you don't quite know what it is.
