This interview's a fascinating look into the creative process of a successful playwright who's dedicated to his vision. He says that writer's block is self-indulgence, that reading fairy tales ("pure plot") helped him develop as a writer, and talks about the tribulations of directing his own work. This interview was a delight to watch, as Shanley's a very funny guy. It's also conducted by a longtime actor on the small screen, Robert Lupone, brother of actress Patty Lupone.
