When I tried to play something and screwed up, I'd hear some other note that would come into play. Then I started trying different things to find the beauty in it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
In the end, one has to feel lucky that things fell out O.K. I've felt that all the years I've been writing 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For me, the original play becomes an historical document: This is where I was when I wrote it, and I have to move on now to something else.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 the thing that I always try to do - because it piques my interest - is to play really different parts all the time.
It'll be interesting to see if I ever have to play a typical, bland romantic interest. I'm quirky, and playing it kind of straight and bland doesn't interest me a whole lot.
I'm not suggesting that the play is without fault; all of my plays are imperfect, I'm rather happy to say-it leaves me something to do.

It's always been fun for me to play a variety of parts, and over the years, I've been lucky with the things I've been asked to do.
The interesting thing about doing a play is to find a way to make it fresh and do it as though you were doing it for the first time.
Choosing to write a play is some kind of surrender. I don't make an outline. I sit and work, and suddenly the door opens, and out it comes.
