I like characters who have blind spots and are full of themselves, but there also needs to be vulnerability.
Part of the success of the show is that the audience sees themselves in the characters, becomes the characters. The more they inhabit the characters, the more they see.
If my characters travel somewhere, I generally write about a place I know to give the scenes more authenticity.
When an audience comes to one of my concerts, I hope they'll see themselves, somewhere, in one of the songs.
I'm a firm believer that character is highly overrated. Character is a trick that we do with the audience's collusion.
I feel there's something about becoming a character that helps people understand themselves.
To me, any character that is conflicted inside as well as outside of themselves is always a better role to play.
Theater is about language, so characters have to define themselves through language for an audience.
In theater, you're playing characters. You believe you're somebody else, and you're acting.
