I Was Raised By A Single Psychologist

I Don't Enjoy Hearing The Sound Of My Voice. The Most Important Things For Me Are Impossible To Articulate Extemporaneously.

I'm Terrible At Speaking Extemporaneously About My Work - I Get Completely Tongue-tied And Consumed With Fear.

I Feel Like There's An Obsession With Pace Right Now In Theater, With Things Being Very Fast And Very Witty And Very Loud, And I Think We're All So Freaked Out About Theater Keeping Audiences Interested Because Everybody's So Freaked Out About Theater Becoming Irrelevant.

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 I Think Back To Every Rehearsal Process For Every Play I've Ever Worked On, There's Just So Much Crying At Home. I Barely Sleep. There Are Moments Of Deep Despair And Anxiety, And Then There Are Moments In Rehearsal That Are The Most Exhilarating; Feeling Seen And Seeing Everybody. Feeling Like You Have A Purpose On The Planet. A Huge Part Of The Process I Enjoy Is Watching The Actors Figuring Out What They Can Handle And What They Can Take And What They Need From The Director And Me.
