When I did play, I tried to make the most of it.

I used to game a lot, and I used to game a little too hard.

When I'm writing a new play, there's a period where I know I shouldn't be out in public much. I imagine most people who create go through something like this. You willfully loosen some of the inner straps that hold your core together.

I was taught to play that way when I was in high school and even before I got to high school.

I was a workhorse; there was never a practice that I didn't enjoy.

When I tried to play something and screwed up, I'd hear some other note that would come into play. Then I started trying different things to find the beauty in it.

I was in a lot of school plays, and it became the thing I did.

You can't hold back. You can't think of the subtleties of playing. You just have to get out and really bare it all, and hopefully you don't fall off the plank. And if you do, hey, pick yourself up, dust yourself down, and start all over again.

Often times, I'm surprised by what I'm writing or what I'm playing, and then that inspires me to keep going with it, so it ends up being a very adventurous process.

One thing people always say to me: 'Keep playing.'
