Everybody I know is writing plays twice a year. It's sort of making me feel I am not up to much.

Everyone thinks they can write a play; you just write down what happened to you. But the art of it is drawing from all the moments of your life.

For me, writing is such an escape, and I felt very lucky to have this to run away to.

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 think I'll ever stop writing. I write almost every day. I'd write plays even if they were never done again. You're at the mercy of whatever talent you have.

Doing a play is so fulfilling. Words cannot describe how I feel when I finish doing a play.

What really happened was one day I decided to write a new kind of play.

When the stories come easily and the writing process doesn't feel laboring, that's usually a good sign for me.

I hope the wonder of what happens to my characters never goes away. That yearning keeps me writing.

I'm lucky because the strongest emotion I have ever felt is being in love, and that definitely informs my writing.
