00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.200
After a while, even if you love the work you do, and I can't imagine loving anything more

2
00:00:05.200 --> 00:00:09.840
than I love writing, but if you start writing plays and they do well and you're liking it,

3
00:00:09.840 --> 00:00:15.820
you will kind of fall into a pattern of saying, okay, I know how to do this, not a problem,

4
00:00:15.820 --> 00:00:20.760
this is what happens first, this is what happens next, which is good, but it doesn't give you

5
00:00:20.760 --> 00:00:23.080
that moment of, can I really do this?

6
00:00:23.080 --> 00:00:26.920
You know, that moment of insecurity, which I think is really good for an artist, because

7
00:00:26.920 --> 00:00:30.920
once you start feeling like, this is a breeze, I can write this play, I can write this story,

8
00:00:30.920 --> 00:00:35.800
I can write this column like falling off a log, you're not pushing yourself anymore to

9
00:00:35.800 --> 00:00:40.360
think about it differently, to reconsider what the possibilities are for your work on

10
00:00:40.360 --> 00:00:44.200
the stage, for your work on the page, and since I'm always trying to do something new,

11
00:00:44.200 --> 00:00:47.480
I'm always a little insecure about it, which I think is a good thing.
