My process is messy and non-linear, full of false starts, fidgets, and errands that I suddenly need to run now; it is a battle to get something - anything - down on paper. I doodle in sketchbooks: bits of ideas, fragments of sentences, character names, single lines of dialogue with no context.

Maybe I'm just a slow learner or something, but I like to have things laid out as plainly and simply as possible.

I'm usually very analytical when I'm prepping stuff: real into the head thing.

If you do something that's different and quirky and original, it takes time for people to figure it out.

I have a very clear vision as to what I want at the end of my prep, and then I throw it out and let the creative process take over.

I'm so OCD about prep work and learning lines and stuff.

I've never looked at - with the exception of little snippets - very much of anything I've done in the last 15, 20 years.

I like to improvise.
