With my plays, when the lights go down, at least the audience isn't thinking, 'Oh, God, two more hours of this.'

Plays are always about intense relationships, whether they're intense love relationships or family relationships or existential relationships.

I admire pop songs that are perfect at three minutes.

I studied international relations and economics at the University of Virginia. I paid my way by working as a bartender in the summer and at three part-time jobs during the year.

Wikileaks in its essence is a publisher, pure and simple. They were very much in the same position as 'The New York Times' and 'The Guardian.'

I'm not well-versed in the science fiction world. I'm hoping that I'll get more opportunities in it because you get to create a new world.
