You Want To Feel Like People Are

One Of My Mother's Friends Said To Me, 'your Ex-boyfriends Didn't Stand A Chance With You And Your Mother.' And I Think I Probably Was Unfair To Them Because She Was The First Person And The Last Person I Called About Every Single Thing. Sorry, Ex-boyfriends.

I Think Every Script I Read Has Something That Sends Me Into A State Of Panic But That Usually Makes Me Want To Do It.

When I Was In High School And College, My Other Real Focus Was, Actually, Fiction Writing. So In College, I Had Done All These Seminars With These Various Writers-in-residence.

I Had Never Done A 90-minute Play With No Intermission, So It Is A Bit Like You Get Onto The Train And You Don't Get Off Until It's Over - And It's Over Very Quickly, So Don't Miss A Moment Of It. That Experience Is Very Rare And Specific So Don't Miss A Minute, Because There Aren't Very Many Minutes Of It.

Theresa Rebeck's Writing Is So Scarily Funny. I Just Love How Unapologetic She Is With Her Writing: She Doesn't Try To Make Her Characters Likeable Or Heroic, She Just Really Makes Them Human. Hopefully, The Audience Is Able To Love Them In The End - Or Have Whatever Feelings That They Want To Have About All Of Them - But I Love That She Doesn't Have That Agenda. That Is Something That, As An Actress, Was Really Appealing To Me; To Just Get To Be In This Group Of People Who Are Complicated And Very Human.
