Film Can Express Things That Computers Never

I Was A Very Self-righteous 15-25 Year Old. Anyway, I Wake Up Every Morning And Thank God I'm Not A Kid Anymore.

I Feel With Writing, So Much Of The Time, I Don't Know How To Tap In And Be Spontaneous And Alive On A Daily Basis. So I Don't Write Every Day. I'm Just Not Disciplined, And I Can't Be In The Groove Most Of The Time. I Feel Like I'm In The Groove Ten Days A Year Or Something. But With Reading And Research, I Feel Like I Have This Incredibly Instinctive Pleasure-driven Process That Ends Up Working Out For Me And Inspiring Me. It's Almost Like A Maze, Like I Know Eventually I'll Hit The Heart Of My Play If I Read Enough Books.

For Early Plays Of Mine, I Started With Character. But I Think That's Because I Hadn't Been In Theaters; I Hadn't Worked That Much. I'm Very Interested In Character, Obviously, But Once I Started Having My Plays Produced, I Became So Fascinated By The Theatrical Experiment And The Weirdness Of Theatrical Space, So Now All My Plays Start With Space And Stage Picture And Setting - Or Container Is Maybe The Better Way To Put It.

Being Sad And Going Out On Terrible Dates And Having Horrible Breakups And Then Having A Shitty Job And Then Quitting The Shitty Job And Then Wondering If You Shouldn't Have Quit The Shitty Job And Then Getting A New Shitty Job That You Get Fired Off Of After Six Weeks, It's All So Good For Your Writing.

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.
