believe thinking play
I don't think of my plays as steamy places where people display huge amounts of emotions. The feeling is underneath, which in my experience is where most feeling is. I don't myself spend my life shouting in rooms, and I don't really believe things in which people do spend their time in total hysteria.
Insofar as I'm good at directing, it's because I've become a writer.

I have a very, very good relationship with 10 percent of the audience. The only purpose of art is intimacy. That's the only point.

believe writing play
As you write plays, you discover what you believe. And until you know what you believe, you can't write a play.
