I Have A Lot Of Health Anxiety.

I Like For People To Figure Things Out For Themselves. It's Not Like I Have The Right Answer, But If I Have A Visceral Reaction To Something, I'm Sure That Other People Will, Too.

I Do Believe You Have A Wound Too. I Do Believe It Is Both Specific To You And Common To Everyone. I Do Believe It Is The Thing About You That Must Be Hidden And Protected, It Is The Thing That Must Be Tap Danced Over Five Shows A Day, It Is The Thing That Won't Be Interesting To Other People If Revealed. It Is The Thing That Makes You Weak And Pathetic. It Is The Thing That Truly, Truly, Truly Makes Loving You Impossible. It Is Your Secret, Even From Yourself. But It Is The Thing That Wants To Live.

There Is A Lot Of Management Going On With Directing. Maybe That Was The Biggest Surprise-just The Amount Of Tending That I Had To Do. The Different Personalities . . . It's Not My Way, And It's Never Been My Function Before As A Writer. I Tend To Be A Moody And Somewhat Withdrawn Person, And I Felt Very Clearly That I Had To Throw That Away Because That Wasn't Allowed Here - There Were Other People Who Were Going To Be Filling That Role. Sometimes It Became Exhausting, Especially Around The Eleventh Hour Of The Day.

Directing Was A Big Learning Experience For Me Because I Had To Deal With Every Aspect Of Everything-all This Constant Decision-making, With People Asking You Questions At Every Moment, And You Have To Have Answers For Them All.

The End Is Built Into The Beginning.
