What do you believe is important about writing?

It's a powerful conduit for connecting with others. With plays, for example, I love seeing them come to life, watching actors embody and devise characters from the page. Writing is important because it's not simply a form of sharing stories but also of creating experiences that can start conversations and manifest new ideas.

What do you like about writing — or why do you yourself like to write?

I find writing sometimes to be like painting, a place to picture images or characters in my mind. Sometimes it's a practice I use to explore ideas that are not fully thought out, or that I want to explore more deeply.
