I don't love you anymore. Goodbye.
I love everything about you that hurts.
The trite answer is that everything is true but none of it happened. It is emotionally true, but the events, the plotting, the narrative, isn't true of my life, though I've experienced most of the emotions experienced by the characters in the play.
When I look back I can't believe I was so stupid as to direct Dealer's Choice.
I used to go with my parents and loved it, I was in school plays, and I started reading plays before I started reading novels. I'll defend it to the hilt. When theatre is good it is fabulous.
Alice: I don’t love you anymore. Goodbye. Dan: Since when? Alice: Now. Just now.
Alice: It's the only way to leave. "I don't love you anymore. Goodbye. " Dan: Supposing you do still love them? Alice: You don't leave.
Always when I directed the play, I was always trying to cast people not who were necessarily like the characters, but people who I felt had the essential component that the character had, some kind of soul for it.

One of the greatest myths men have about women is that we overpack.
That's the most stupid expression in the world. 'I fell in love'—as if you had no choice. There's a moment, there's always a moment; I can do this, I can give in to this or I can resist it. I don't know when your moment was but I bet there was one.
A couple of flop plays, a death in the family, and it could all collapse.
Everything is a version of something else.
Lying is the most fun a girl can have without taking her clothes off. But it's better if you do.
Theatre is how I first encountered art on any level.

Thank God life ends—we'd never survive it. From Big Bang to weary shag, the history of the world. Our flesh is ferocious. . . our bodies will kill us. . . our bones will outlive us.
I don't want to lie. I can't tell the truth. So it's over.
It's one of the reasons I don't do drugs. One sniff and I'd go all the way.
