“It just happens quicker and faster now.”

When it’s just a few scenes and a couple of actors behaving in a room, I feel very confident with that.

A typical day for me is I’m writing when I’m not directing.

Mary’s house smelled like lemon furniture polish and oatmeal cookies and logs in a fireplace.

I would hope that the staffs at juvenile detention centers and reform schools are carefully chosen so that there is a community of support and hope.

You can always count on the New York Times to cut your legs off.

I appreciate good criticism and I think it’s really important.

You have to escape to survive, as you must survive to escape.

Grief does not expire like a candle or the beacon on a lighthouse. It simply changes temperature. It becomes a kind of personal weather system.

My work is always more emotional than I am.

And there’s nothing like the feeling of perfection that will inspire repeated behavior.

Whenever I’ve been in rehearsals, it’s really fun, there’s always laughing.

I know that something inevitable will happen.

I’ve lost lots of relationships because of my having to ignore everything.

There’s something exciting about that free fall, but then my life gets really screwed up.

When I write, that takes over and I can’t do anything else.

I’ve been living in Portland for five months and I’m not sure how I feel about it. I probably won’t really know for years because that’s how it works right?

Dont panic, i thought. But already my breathing was faster, shallower. You mean you can feel happy or sad or desire. A barely-there smile.

It is an old and ironic habit of human beings to run faster when we have lost our way; and we grasp more fiercely at research, statistics, and technical aids in sex when we have lost the values and meaning of love.

Woe to him who teaches men faster than they can learn.

Run faster, jump higher, reach farther, and you’ll always win! live life expecting the worst, hoping for the best, and living for the future!

All these nice people saying I’m going to be world champion won’t make me any faster, you have to believe it yourself.

The English game is not faster than the German game.

Everything is traditionally slow – much faster than it ever has been on earth but still far, far too slow.

Run faster, jump higher, reach farther, and you’ll always win!
