I don't have a saviour or a royal family.
I'm not a control maniac.
I am inspired by the appearance of a bohemian of the new millennium.
Theater is so ephemeral, and I love that.
I've always been an avid reader. Everyone in my family read a lot. Considering we were from a little town, we were pretty literate.
There's a reason screens are only this thick.
There are many, many benefits to being known for whatever it is you do. To deny that would be sort of asinine and vulgar.
If you're too smart it can limit you because you spend so much time thinking that you don't do anything.
Reviews are destructive by their very nature.
I still have a temper, I suppose.
I never really did a western western.
All you have is the writer's imagination. You have a very limited time to take this imaginary person and bring the details of their life, as you perceive them, to life. You attempt to do to that as fully and as vibrantly as you can. It's depressing to read how much you've failed. And it's not even particularly instructive or necessary to read how you succeeded because in the end don't you have to judge that?
I don't lose my temper very often now, and if I do, it's well deserved.
Imagine how asleep or utterly unperceptive and clueless you would have to be not to see yourself as absurd for the most part.
