“If I were less lazy, when my play was published, I would go and rewrite everything for the reader. But I don't do that. What people are reading is just me trying to get the actors and directors to do something or think about something.” PeopleIfsThinkingTryingPlayReadingActorsReaderDirectorsLazy Author:Annie Baker
“I feel with writing, so much of the time, I don't know how to tap in and be spontaneous and alive on a daily basis. So I don't write every day. I'm just not disciplined, and I can't be in the groove most of the time. I feel like I'm in the groove ten days a year or something. But with reading and research, I feel like I have this incredibly instinctive pleasure-driven process that ends up working out for me and inspiring me. It's almost like a maze, like I know eventually I'll hit the heart of my play if I read enough books.” IfsKnowsFeelsWritingYearsHeartI CanBookEndsEnoughPlayReadingProcessPleasureKnow HowAliveTenResearchBasesWork OutDrivenSpontaneousGrooveMazesBe Spontaneous Author:Annie Baker
“I feel like my life is at its happiest when I don't have a looming deadline. There's some really groovy wonderful times, when I'm like, "I have a new piece, I'm excited about it, I'm reading all these books about it, but there's not a lot of time pressure, and I'm financially stable enough right now that I don't have to be trying to get another job." But that's so rare.” FeelsTryingBookEnoughJobsLife IsReadingPiecesWonderfulRight NowPressureExcitedStableDeadlineLoomingWonderful TimesGroovy Author:Annie Baker
