"My mom studied theatre about fifteen years ago and she used to talk about it a lot--when I was seventeen I checked it out and it was a great fit for me. It's funny, when I write theatre all I think about is character which is probably not the best idea, story's important and dialogue... but the theatre stuff is usually about relationships,"—Interview with Filmfreakcentral.com on October 13, 2003http://www.filmfreakcentral.net/diff/scaaninterview.htm
