It was all your craft, and I'm very appreciative that they taught the craft in theater, but film and television are completely different than theater.
I've done a lot of theater work that has been quite diverse. I feel very fortunate to have had many different people think of me in many different ways.

I think film and television - particularly film - you are very isolated as a writer. If you're lucky, you have a good relationship with the director. Then you do make that development and come on set and be part of something. But ultimately, your work is kind of done by the time you come on set.
