chemical figure responses sing ways work
There are actors I have very strong chemical responses to, and I strive always to figure out ways to work with them and get them to sing my stuff.
life specific
I think that when you write for stars, I think that you have to be very specific about what they do beautifully and let them bring it to life.
people
I write about outsiders. I write about people who are outside and don't know quite how to get in because it's how I've always felt.
behind concert costumes direct honest prefer
I don't want costumes and makeup between me and the audience - I want more direct communication. There's something for me about being honest on stage, and I'm at my most honest when I'm behind a piano. So I prefer my concert performances.
people popular tradition understand work
My work is very popular with performers, and there are theatre people who get what I'm doing and what tradition I'm working in. I'm very grateful to them - they're my people, who understand why I work the way I do.
characters comedy extreme feeling feels people possibly respond response
Comedy is drama. I think that if your characters are feeling something that is very real, then they have to respond in a way that feels real to them, and some situations, the only response you could possibly have is to respond in a way that's so extreme that people are going to laugh.
The jury is still out on whether I'm a genius or not.
