I think a playwright realizes after he finishes working on the script that this is only the beginning. What will happen when it moves into three dimensions?

I think more than writers, the major influences on me have been European movies, jazz, and Abstract Expressionism.

But it's rare, the three out of three. I think for me, 'The Talented Mr. Ripley' had a great script, a great director, and a great role,

I've come to think of Europe as a hardcover book, America as the paperback version.

I think that things happen for a reason.

A Catholic is raised with the idea that he will die any minute now and if he doesn't live his life in a certain way, this death is an introduction to an eternity of pain.
