Replace judgment with curiosity.

'Intimate Apparel' is a lyrical meditation on one woman's loneliness and desire. 'Fabulation' is a very fast-paced play of the MTV generation.

'Ruined' was a play which was somewhat of an anomaly in that I did not take a commission until it was finished because I really wanted to explore the subject matter unencumbered. Otherwise, I felt as though I'd have the voice of dramaturges and literary managers saying, 'This is great, but we'll never be able to produce it.'

I find my characters and stories in many varied places; sometimes they pop out of newspaper articles, obscure historical texts, lively dinner party conversations and some even crawl out of the dusty remote recesses of my imagination.

For me, playwriting is sharing my experiences, telling my stories.

I see procrastination and research as part of my artistic process.

The people sometimes who are closest to us are the ones who bear the brunt of our frustration.

Women are standing up and leaning forward and asserting their power.

I like to go into a space, listen, absorb, and then interpret.
