I Write Plays Instinctively. I Don't Like

When You Do A Play, You Have The Kind Of Nightly Feeling Of Accomplishment. But You Also Have The Daily Dread Of The Doing It Every Night. And Because You're Doing The Whole Thing Every Day, It's Like Climbing Up The Mountain Every Single Night. With A Movie It's Like Climbing The Mountain Very Slowly, Over Months Of Filming.

If You Look At The Movies That Come Out, Most Of Them Are Bad, So It's Not As If Achieving Some Level Of Success Means You Get Offered Better Roles, Because Frankly They Don't Seem To Exist.

Depression, If It's An Unconsciously Elected Experience, Is A Luxury.

I Grew Up In An Apolitical Household. I Never Left The Country. When I Became An Adult, I Started Traveling And Became Interested In Politics, And I Probably Talked About Things In A Silly, Ignorant Way.

I Meet People Who Are In Movies, And The Stuff That They Write Is Terrible, But Nobody Tells Them That Because They're Famous. So I Worry That My Stuff Might Be Like That, Too.
