The parts I enjoy playing aren't really available to me. So I have to write them.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Eventually, before I die, I hope to have written about every part I've played.
I'm interested in playing all kinds of parts.
I've always known that writing plays is very difficult, because I've written three or four that have never been produced.
I don't write a play from beginning to end. I don't write an outline. I write scenes and moments as they occur to me. And I still write on a typewriter. It's not all in ether. It's on pages. I sequence them in a way that tends to make sense. Then I write what's missing, and that's my first draft.
If I feel I can play a part I do everything in my power to try to play it.
My plays are made up of long monologues, which is similar to prose working with the language.
I write plays about big, intense subjects.
It's hard to find a play that's right for me to do. Rather than waiting around for the right script to come along, I decided to write one myself.
After you play a part, you think of it as your own.
It's always been fun for me to play a variety of parts, and over the years, I've been lucky with the things I've been asked to do.
