I've always been somebody who wrote down my feelings and I've always liked to write. I never did any stories or poems or anything like that. I was just always writing down my thoughts.

For some reason I just started writing and out came this play. It's a series of monologs. All of the characters are from different walks of life. I have everything from an 18-year-old kid to a fourth-grade girl. There's not really a plot. It's about their reactions to how it (9/11) affected them.

I started writing it in 2002 and kept writing and kept writing and kept writing. This is a different version from the other two plays that we have done. The first year it was five characters. The second year it was six characters and this year it's seven.

It was a business deal. There are no hard feelings.

We cannot feel good about an imaginary future when we are busy feeling bad about an actual present.

[The culture] appealed to my senses. It was a very sensual thing. I love the smells, sights, the sounds, feelings, tastes. My senses tend to be more sharp in Greece.
