I Got To New York

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 Feel Very Lucky And Privileged To Be A Writer. I Feel Lucky In The Sense That I Can Branch Out Into Prose And Tell Different Kinds Of Stories And Stuff. But Being A Writer Is So Great Because Youre Literally Not Dependent On Anybody.

Everyone Wants A Piece Of Land. It's The Only Sure Investment. It Can Never Depreciate Like A Car Or A Washing Machine. Land Will Double Its Value In Ten Years. In Less Than That. Land Is Going Up Every Day.

It's Hard To Explain Why Exactly, But I Think That When I Began Writing Plays, It Was From An Actor's Point Of View More Than Anything. I Had The Feeling That If You Put Yourself In The Position Of The Actor On Stage And Write From That Perspective, It Would Give You A Certain Advantage In Terms Of Being Inside Of The Play.
