I'm one of those lazy actors; I like to take what the playwright wrote and work with that.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm a playwright who gets involved in movies when I'm not writing a play.
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'm not a playwright; I'm a writer who loves theater.
I'm a typically lazy person. It is sort of characteristic of actors.
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.
I don't like to intellectualize about my acting. I don't sit around and study the pages of a script over and over again.
I do come from a theater background, where the playwright is optimal and king and you have to serve the playwright. So I am, of course, a huge fan of scripted everything.
I don't like waiting around for work, and sometimes as an actor you're forced into that position, so that's sort of how I got into writing, producing and directing.
Playwrights are the most gregarious writers - to get our work done, we need actors, directors, set designers.
