I like the Mets. I'm interested in the Mets.

Frankly, seeing my plays with an audience is something I do with gritted teeth; I find the experience very difficult. I love the moment when you have just the dress rehearsal, when no one's there; that's kind of the peak to me. When people start filing in, I like to file out.

When we watch a play under the standard circumstances, we've lost volition and time is passing. A still play feels like an existential threat.

The idea of a rupture between acts occurs in a number of my plays.

I was formed by 'The Forsyte Saga' marathon. There was something about seeing all those events telescoped that was unbelievably moving: that sense of time as something that can be tinkered with.

It's weird, because I don't feel prolific. I don't write anything for months at a time.
