A little girl called Pat. We were nine-year-olds together and all the class made her life a misery. I knew she wanted to be my friend and I would only be friends with her if nobody else was around. I feel dreadful about that.
My wife, because she manages me and sometimes there isn’t time for niceties and we have to talk in a language that isn’t very marriage-like.
My parents, because growing up you think you know more than they do.
My younger self: I had no love for her and I was cruel and she never deserved it.
That my first play, Red Velvet, took so many years to be done. It took me seven years to write and then five years to get to the stage.
Lack of empathy.
