More From Annie Baker
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.

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.

I Feel Like My Life Is At Its Happiest When I Don't Have A Looming Deadline. There's Some Really Groovy Wonderful Times, When I'm Like, "i Have A New Piece, I'm Excited About It, I'm Reading All These Books About It, But There's Not A Lot Of Time Pressure, And I'm Financially Stable Enough Right Now That I Don't Have To Be Trying To Get Another Job." But That's So Rare.
