Plays Can Outlast Even The Opinions Of

We Won't Die Secret Deaths Anymore. The World Only Spins Forward. We Will Be Citizens. The Time Has Come. Bye Now. You Are Fabulous Creatures, Each And Every One. And I Bless You: More Life. The Great Work Begins.

I Go Into Any Movie That's Historical Fiction Thinking, 'ok, I'm Here To Watch A Work Of Art, Something Delivering A Series Of Opinions, And If It's A Good Work Of Art, These Opinions Become So Deeply Embedded In Complexity And Richness That I Won't Even Be Bothered By The Opinions. I'll Make My Own Mind Up.'

I Don't Know Anything About Making Movies. I'd Never Been On A Film Set. I'm Really Kind Of An Idiot When It Comes To Figuring Out Where Objects Are In Space. If They're Both Moving, I Can't Do The Math. If You Ever See Me Driving Down A Road, Go Somewhere Else Quickly.

I've Always Been Drawn To Writing Historical Characters. The Best Stories Are The Ones You Find In History.

That It Should Be The Questions And Shape Of A Life, Its Total Complexity Gathered, Arranged, And Considered, Which Matters In The End, Not Some Stamp Of Salvation Or Damnation That Disperses All The Complexity Into Some Unsatisfying Little Decision - The Balancing Of Scales.
