I have never written a play, a story, a poem, or my one film - anything - unless something was troubling me enough, wrecking me, in fact, to drive me back into the absurdity of writing. I do not enjoy writing.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Writing is like a rollercoaster ride for me, an adventure. I love exploring the world through 'playing' people who are absolutely nothing like me.
I took a writing class in college, liked it, and my first year out of school I couldn't get a job, so I wrote a play.
I enjoy writing, sometimes; I think that most writers will tell you about the agony of writing more than the joy of writing, but writing is what I was meant to do.
I've always known that writing plays is very difficult, because I've written three or four that have never been produced.
I love writing plays because they are living, fluid things that are energised by the producer, designers, musicians, actors and audience.
I've done nothing with my life but write plays.
I write novellas because I don't like loose sprawling prose.
I like writing, and I enjoy it. It's painful. You can't get around the pain of writing. I'm still trying to balance on what I think is my creative habit. It varies, but I do know that I need to continue. It helps me with my acting, and the writing helps me be invested in a different way.
I had always written. I had written stories and poems. Then I started writing plays.
Writing is writing to me. I'm incapable of saying no to any writing job, so I've done everything - historical fiction, myths, fairy tales, anything that anybody expresses any interest in me writing, I'll write. It's the same reason I used to read as a child: I like going somewhere else and being someone else.
