I know I'm really good at writing for the theater. I can deny it all I want. Other people can fight me on it. It doesn't really matter. It's the thing I happen to know is my gift.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I write for an audience that likes what I like, reads what I read, thinks about the things I think about. In many ways, this puts me in opposition to the people who go to the theater generally.
I'm not a playwright; I'm a writer who loves theater.
I'm a playwright who gets involved in movies when I'm not writing a play.
I see a ton of theatre whenever I'm not working to stay inspired. I love feeling like I'm a part of the theatre community and following the work of actors and writers I admire. I'm a big reader, too.
I'm a writer; it's not just what I do, but who I am.
And writing I think is a gift that you have, the same as acting, in a way.
I'm a writer. The more I act, the more resistance I have to it. If you accept work in a movie, you accept to be entrapped for a certain part of time, but you know you're getting out. I'm also earning enough to keep my horses, buying some time to write.
It's not enough for me to cover theater, I have to throw myself around every other art form, and do so thoroughly and relentlessly.
I went to college and studied writing, and I got involved in theater. It's always been my passion.
I'm not doubtful that I am doing what I should be doing - writing for theater - and that I'm doing it in a way no one else does it. Whether anyone else is paying attention or anyone else cares, I'm still ambivalent about that. It's still an open question.
