I go through phases of watching a ton of dance/performance, and I am bizarrely well-informed on the subject.

I actually don't read the press. All the writers I admire were significantly reclusive, and I'm still trying to figure out how they got to a place where they didn't have to talk to press.

One of the most incredible and important things about the theater is that we're creating a safe space for all feelings, but especially, ugly feelings.

I tried writing a novel, but plays were the thing that kept feeding me, asking me to come back, sit down and be with them.

We will grieve not, rather find strength in what remains behind. In the faith that looks through death, in years that bring the philosophic mind.

Chronic Lyme causes arthritis, heart problems, stroke - even death.

If we heard that somebody starved to death in Sweden or Switzerland, we would be shocked.

I feel that writers think with their noses to the ground, and the dark stuff kind of comes to me more, even though I really am sort of an upbeat guy. It's an honest descent into darkness. And you can't have the joy without the grief - it's why we listen to Mozart's 'Requiem.'
