'The Author' is subtly unflinching in its satirical attack on certain practices in the creation of art and the mediation of violence.

I am particularly interested in creating a relationship between ideas of reception in conceptual art and theater.

'I, Malvolio' is a very, very funny show, a clown show, but there is Beckettian darkness in the character. Some real darkness, some right close to the edge of despair moments.

When I do my makeup, it kind of helps me get into the character that I'm trying to portray.

Most detective story readers are an educated audience and know there are only a certain number of plots. The interest lies in what the writer does with them.

It took me realizing that a broken heart has never actually killed anyone to find the courage to ask for what I want, in just about every situation. That was part of my own growing up.
