There Are Certain Early Plays Of Mine

I Never Had A Lot Of Ideas. I Always Have Exactly One That Is The Next Project; The Idea Of A Project Beyond That Project Is Ludicrous.

If Anything, I Was The Opposite Of Most College Students Who Think They Can Do Anything.

There Are Certain Early Plays Of Mine That I Really Don't Like, But I Can't Imagine Going Back And Fixing Them. I Would Be Totally Incapable Of It. I'm Not In The Head Of The Characters Anymore.

I Ended Up Becoming A Playwright Because You Can Be Grammatically Incorrect: People Speaking In Bad Poetry Or People Attempting To Speak Well And Sometimes Succeeding And Sometimes Failing. The Whole Imperfection Of It Suddenly Felt Freeing To Me.

I Feel Like The Reason I Ended Up Becoming A Playwright Is Because I Never Choose The Right Word. As A Kid, My Fantasy Profession Was To Be A Novelist. But The Thing About Writing Prose - And Maybe Great Prose Writers Don't Feel This Way - But I Always Felt It Was About Choosing Words. I Was Always Like, "i Have To Choose The Perfect Word." And Then It Would Kill Me, And I Would Choose The Wrong Word Or I Would Choose Too Many Perfect Words - I Wrote Really Purple Prose.
