Art Has An Obligation To Offend

I Don't Pay Much Attention To How The Plays Relate Thematically To Each Other. I Think That's Very Dangerous To Do, Because In The Theater One Is Self-conscious Enough Without Planning Ahead Or Wondering About The Thematic Relation From One Play To The Next. One Hopes That One Is Developing, And Writing Interestingly, And That's Where It Should End, I Think.

One Has Always Got To Be Terribly Careful, Since The Theater Is Made Up Of A Whole Bunch Of Prima Donnas, Not To Let The Distortions Occur.

I Was Twenty-nine Years Old And I Wasn't A Very Good Poet And I Wasn't A Very Good Novelist, [so] I Thought I Would Try Writing A Play, Which Seems To Have Worked Out A Little Better.

I Don't Like The Climate In Which Writers Have To Work In The Usa And I Think It's My Responsibility To Talk About It.

Arthur Miller Once Payed Me A Great Compliment Saying That My Plays Were 'necessary.' I Will Go One Step Further And Say That Arthur's Plays Are 'essential'
