I'm a fool for a good role in a creative piece where there are really such talented writers and wonderful actors.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
As a writer, all you want to do is write for great actors. That's all.
I really think that as good of a job as you do as a writer, you're absolutely indebted to the actors that have to deliver that material.
Only a fool does not fear actors, but you can't beat them, and if you can't beat them, join them, as they say. As I've got older I've become very interested in that part of the work.
From being a writer of plays, it was not that surprising that somebody thought of giving me a job as an actor. After I played one part, others came along.
I'm inspired every time I see a role I'd like to play, an actor turn in a well crafted performance, a story I'd like to tell, direct or produce.
I like to cast actors I admire, one's that are talented. Each one will bring something new to the part. This play has been done thousands of times and now certain characters are too familiar.
I have the most fun writing and directing. And I always choose myself as the lead actor.
I'm one of those lazy actors; I like to take what the playwright wrote and work with that.
If my favourite director gives me a role that is very sparkly? A very brilliant character? I'll do it.
As an actor, my main focus is finding good writing and attacking a good role.
