Anyone who's had a tattoo knows once you get your first one, as you're walking out the door, you're planning the next.
If I die a violent death, as some fear and a few are plotting, I know that the violence will be in the thought and the action of the assassins, not in my dying.
With my plays, when the lights go down, at least the audience isn't thinking, 'Oh, God, two more hours of this.'
