This Is A Time For Serious People,

Honestly, I Don't Try To Guess At What Most People Want. I Don't Think I'd Guess Right, And I Just Think That That's Not A Good Recipe For Storytelling. I Try To Write What I Like, What I Think My Friends Would Like.

I Have A Lot Of Respect For People Who Are Great At Ad-libbing, And For Writers And Directors Who Are Able To Create A Scene In Which That Works.

I Grew Up In The Theatre. It's Where I Got My Start. Writing A Television Drama With Theatrical Dialogue About The Theatre Is Beyond Perfection.

I Love Writing. I'm Not Particularly Comfortable In The Actual World - I'm Much More Comfortable On The Page. So If I Could Have A Life Where I Could Just Slip The Pages Under The Door And Somebody Would Slip Me A Meal Back, Then That Would Be Perfect For Me.

Writing Anything, It Sorta Starts The Way You'd Build A Castle At The Beach. You're Just Taking Your Hands And You're Mounting Up Sand.
