I play disturbed people a lot, but always with a bit of distance or tongue-in-cheek. Most of the villains I play are essentially harmless.
In 'Divergent,' the story is about Beatrice Prior, and I play her brother.
Trump's divisive rhetoric targets low-information voters and won't play well with the general public, either.
For me, the original play becomes an historical document: This is where I was when I wrote it, and I have to move on now to something else.
I didn't realize that, in doing a documentary, there is this process of discovery. It's not like a film or a play with a set script. It sort of reveals itself.
If I play my home games in Coors Field, I'm probably not going to be doing a whole lot of bunting. If I play my home games in Petco Park or Dodger Stadium, it's probably going to be a more valuable tool.
That's what my mindset is, making the right play and doing the right thing each and every possession.

Playing a show is a monumental hassle. You've got to schlep all your heavy equipment into the van, then you've got to drive for five hours, then you have to schlep all the heavy equipment out of the van, onto the stage, set it up, do the sound check, hang around for three hours, then play the show, which is incredibly draining.
A pro at Bayern doesn't merely have to play football; he has a range of other appointments on behalf of the club. It all drains your energy.
It's insulting to ask a dramatist what his view of his play is. I have no opinion.
When I was 12 or 13, the hyphy movement was beginning to bubble. And you had local acts such as the Federation or E-40, Mac Dre, and Too Short that the local radio station would play all the time. You'd hear E-40 as much as you'd hear Jay Z.
My interest in theater really began in the '70s when American realism wasn't really in favor. I really dreaded going into a play that had a toaster that worked. I just didn't want to see that.
