For most of my career, I've played roles that were written for other actresses.

I don't think I've been in a supporting role in any of the plays I've done, ever.

When I got to the reading all the work, I was reduced to being an actor in an experimental play that I'd already written. And I didn't want to be an actor.

I don't use my writing career as a vehicle to get me acting work or to write roles for myself.

I've done a handful of great roles.

I play a huge variety of roles.

I never played the right roles, or very rarely got the right roles offered, except on stage.

Every role is the best role you've ever got. It's the only role you have.

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 a playwright who gets involved in movies when I'm not writing a play.
