“You want the tension to escalate. Keeping them there is the hardest part, so you have to take away any excuse for them to leave.”

I’ve never really felt that I’ve had the right hair cut, or had the right clothes.

I write till the end at least a draft of a play or a novel; but sometimes,

I’m pretty obsessive-compulsive and I’m very fast.

I began stealing a lot of ideas from other directors I had worked with.

I don’t know where the characters are going to go or what’s going to happen.

I find that more and more I’m trying to entertain myself when I’m working, because I know the work’s going to go to a horrible place.

It was like losing an important weight-bearing bone, and I knew I would spend the rest of my life trying to figure out how to walk the streets without it.

I suffer from and enjoy an incredibly vivid dream life. A lot of times there is a sort-of narrative and other times they are just funhouses of non-linear imagery and other scary stuff.

But when I’m writing I am just a big, irresponsible mess and I’m just impossible to get in touch with, and I don’t spend time with friends.

Somewhere deeper than where they put your heart.

I just love working with actors, and I love working with writers, working with designers.

A war of words escalated between the president-elect and a civil rights icon.

Most people try to escalate a relationship too quickly.
