draw life none
Like all writers, I draw from life as I know it; but it's a refracted kind of reality, and none of it is factually true.
learned performing structure
As a young writer, I learned a lot about grammatical structure from reading plays, from performing the plays. I think that was a wonderful apprenticeship.
scare similar ways
Working in a prison, is, to my mind, similar in ways to working in a coal mine. It's going to scare away a lot of people.
