I think I'm more of an absurdist than a satirist. I think I'm more of a - humanist? I hate to say it!

The purpose of making people feel uncomfortable is to play with their preconceptions.

To me, this is from a Buddhist perspective or whatever, sometimes people who are working out their political beliefs, they can rage against the man, and yet at the same time can be oblivious to their own way of stepping on the foot of the person right next to them.

I'm attracted to polarizing characters who upend the civility of life.

I started as a writer; I started writing when I was little. The acting and directing was an outgrowth of my desire to tell stories.
