I Grew Up. I Began To Think

I Wrote My First Play At The Age Of 10, 55 Years Ago, And I've Always Found It A Fantastic Relief To Imagine I Know What Things Would Be Like From The Point Of View Of Other Individuals And To Send Out Signals From Where I Actually Am Not. Playwrights Never Need To Write From The Place Where They Are.

Patriotism Is Considered To Be An Emotion A Person Ought To Feel. But Why? Why Is It Nobler To Love Your Own Country Than To Love Someone Else's?

And My Singing, I Don't Think I Could Sing Wagner Or Opera, But I Could Probably Carry A Tune. I Was In A Musical Once, But It Was Never Performed.

I'm Being Mocked Because I Don't Live Up To A Socially Determined View Of What Other People Think A Person Should Look Like.

I Have An Enormous Appetite To See Life As I Know It Presented In Front Of My Eyes.
