writing
I write, but I also act.
brain able stuff
The world intrudes in my brain daily. Since my brain is dripping with all kinds of stuff that's out there in the world, that I can't seem to be able to shut out, it has to end up being in my work as well.
thinking cities people
If you say city to people, people have no problem thinking of the city as rife with problematic, screwed-up people, but if you say suburbs - and I'm not the first person to say this, it's been said over and over again in literature - there's a sense of normalcy.
hips
I'm not hip, I'm not cool, I'm not glib.
thinking light hearted
I'm not a light-hearted person, so I can't think light-hearted at work.
happens
I'm always surprised by things that happen to my work.
people acting
I love playing other people's work. I love acting.
fake-people believe forget
It's a mental fake-out to myself. I make believe I'm making a new show so I forget the material I was working on and make up some fresh material.
people long pay
For a long time, my shows were about people walking out or about getting my gigs canceled or having the presenter not wanting to pay me.
play radio film
I was definitely surprised when Talk Radio took off as a play. As a film it has become somewhere between a popular thing and a cult thing.
love-you people boring
There is nothing more boring than people who love you.
pissed-off duty humans
It's my duty as a human being to be pissed off
dirt hitting forgotten
As soon as the dirt is hitting the casket, it'll all be forgotten.
