The great fun of doing new plays is that people have no idea what's going to happen next. That goes quite soon, as people start talking about it, and the only way you can keep hold of that is genuinely to keep changing it.

I love a good play, but they're too hard to find.

My mentality is that no matter how good or bad the previous play was, move on to the next one.

I have to learn the plays before I can worry about getting passes thrown to me.

I am always looking for a great play and a great part to do.

That was always my inclination, to start on a new play before the other one gets done, because at least you'll have something to go back to if that play gets trashed.

I'd love to do some new plays.

For me, the original play becomes an historical document: This is where I was when I wrote it, and I have to move on now to something else.

I think new plays are vastly more surprising and challenging and inspiring; I hear from audiences all the time that they are delighted when they see plays about the world we live in now, at this moment.
