“I'm interested in the things that are not said, the secrets.”

“I've always been drawn to family stories. I think most writers are.”

“I like to start with a lot of ideas and then strip them down to the clearest, most essential, most powerful elements.”

“I love to tell stories. That's my passion. It's the only thing I can do.”

“I love plays that have a little bit of both, that are tragic and comic.”

“My characters are always searching for some kind of connection.”

“I think the thing about the South is that it’s a very story-telling culture.”

“You have to be kind of brutal with yourself, and honest.”

“I think humor is a great way to deal with pain.”

“It's about the small moments of grace that you find in the midst of chaos.”
