I Love Reading; It's A Great Way

I Think I'll Always Be A Better Playwright Than A Pundit, But I Believe That Writers Should Be Public Intellectuals And That Theater, Even More Than Film, Is A Place Of Public Debate.

One Has To Have A Complicated Kind Of Optimism. You Can't Refuse To Look At How Horrible Things Are.

A Handful Of Works In History Have Had A Direct Impact On Social Policy: One Or Two Works Of Dickens, Some Of Zola, 'uncle Tom's Cabin' And, In Modern Drama, Larry Kramer's 'the Normal Heart.'

There's A Way In Which 'the Illusion' Is A Play About The Theater.

I Feel There's A Power In Theatre, But It's An Indirect Power. It's Like The Relationship Of The Sleeper To The Unconscious. You Discover Things You Can't Afford To Countenance In Waking Life. You Can Forget Them, Remember Them A Day Later Or Not Have Any Idea What They Are About.
