“And you can’t go anywhere in the sky unless you have a plane or some kind of rocket.”

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 don’t know if I have the ability to write an ending like My Fair Lady’s, when everyone gets what they want after a few minor conflicts.

The stakes are so high just for someone to make a simple exit.

I’ve written some criticism, and I really enjoy it because I think it’s important for people to know that theatre is vital.

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.

My characters say things to each other that I get accused of not being able to say to my girlfriend.

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.

It’s been hard for me to not write, and that’s the only process I can speak to I guess, it’s so compulsive and I need to do it all the time that sometimes I make myself not do it so I can actually tend to my life.

I won’t eat right. I forget to do my laundry. I have a dog now, and I have to remember to walk him.

I dont see a lot of movies that portray the East Village as well as I think they can.

More often than not, an entropy creeps in that strangles me, and then the inevitable happens.

I don’t put big concepts on my work, and it’s all often about keeping actors in a room together and not letting them leave.

When I’m directing, I’m pretty much not writing, but when I’m not directing I am writing a lot.

You can’t run forever.

Truth is all there is. It’s like when you learned how to read, you can then read anywhere you go.

I was happy anywhere I could see the ocean.

Getting carried away is stupid, it won’t get me anywhere. -Nana Komatsu

If you were able to give up control absolutely, totally, and completely, then you would be a spiritually free being.

I think journalism can come from anywhere, and comedy can certainly come from anywhere.

The main trend with the theme episodes is that anywhere there is a misconception about the way the physical world works, we’re finding fertile material.

Anywhere else is a horribly dangerous time for women and minorities.

For me, why would a Jew want to go anywhere in history ever? I’m only going to have to run.
