I write my plays to create an excuse for full-tilt acting and performing.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm a playwright who gets involved in movies when I'm not writing a play.
I write plays about big, intense subjects.
If you're going to act and do this for a living, you want to play something that the audience didn't expect.
I'm one of those lazy actors; I like to take what the playwright wrote and work with that.
When I'm acting, that's all I'm doing. When I'm not acting, I'm not thinking about acting. If I'm writing, I'm just writing.
I've written a couple screenplays and half-finished plays.
My plays are made up of long monologues, which is similar to prose working with the language.
I've seen plays that are, objectively, total messes that move me in ways that their tidier brethren do not. That's the romantic mystery of great theater. Translating this ineffability into printable prose is a challenge that can never be fully met.
I write short stories, and I wrote a play.
I write plays because writing dialogue is the only respectable way of contradicting yourself. I put a position, rebut it, refute the rebuttal, and rebut the refutation.
