We Won't Die Secret Deaths

When I'm Writing A New Play, There's A Period Where I Know I Shouldn't Be Out In Public Much. I Imagine Most People Who Create Go Through Something Like This. You Willfully Loosen Some Of The Inner Straps That Hold Your Core Together.

Film Is Like Tech Starts On The First Day Of Filming And It Never Stops. There's Never A Moment When The Audience Comes In, You're Just In Tech Forever, And I Can't Stand Being On A Film Set. It's Really Tedious.

Here's The Thing About Politics: It's Not An Expression Of Your Moral Purity And Your Ethics And Your Probity And Your Fond Dreams Of Some Utopian Future. Progressive People Constantly Fail To Get This.

I Think I'll Always Be A Better Playwright Than A Pundit, But I Believe That Writers Should Be Public Intellectuals And That Theater, Even More Than Film, Is A Place Of Public Debate.

I'm Happy That I Feel A Little Less Out Of Place In Filmmaking Than I Once Was - But It's Almost Impossible For A Playwright In The U.s. To Make A Living. You Can Have A Play, Like I Did With 'angels,' And It Still Generates Income For Me, But It's Not Enough For Me To Live On And Have Health Insurance.
