After Being In One Movie, It Didn't Seem Like That Would Be My Life. I Had Done Several Jobs, Briefly. I'd Been A Shipping Clerk, I Worked In A Copy Shop, I Didn't Think The Acting Was Going To Go On And On.

I Do Things, And Other People Laugh At Them. I Rarely Know What The Joke Is Supposed To Be Or Why They're Laughing.

I Choose Parts Because I Don't Want To Be Embarrassed When The Movie Comes Out. What If My Friends Were To See The Movie? What If My Niece Or Nephew Wandered Into The Theater And Saw The Movie? I Don't Want To Be Too Ashamed Of It.

What I'm Really Involved In When I'm Writing Is Something That No One Ever Mentions When They See Any Play. Writing Is Like Trying To Make Gunpowder Out Of Chemicals. You Have These Words And Sentences And The Strange Meanings And Associations That Are Attached To The Words And Sentences, And You're Somehow Cooking These Things All Up So That They Suddenly Explode And Have A Powerful Effect. That's What Absorbs Me From Day To Day In Writing A Play.

I'm Not Proud To Be Me, I'm Not Excited To Be Me, But I Find That I Am Me, And Like Most Other Individuals, I Send Out Little Signals; I Tell Everyone Else How Everything Looks From Where I Am.
