I Started Writing Plays In Around 1967,

I Was Clever Enough To Know That John Donne Was Offering Something That Was Awfully Enjoyable. I Just Wasn't Clever Enough To Actually Enjoy It.

I'm A Very Lucky Man. It's A Beautiful Thing For A Writer, To See People Allowing Your Words To Enter Their Own Unconscious And Their Souls.

We Are Not What We Seem. We Are More Than What We Seem. The Actor Knows That. And Because The Actor Knows That Hidden Inside Himself There's A Wizard And A King, He Also Knows That When He's Playing Himself In His Daily Life, He's Playing A Part, He's Performing, Just As He's Performing When He Plays A Part On Stage.

When I Was A Child, I Did Always Feel That People Were Hiding Things, And That They Weren't Expressing Their True Feelings. When Adults Are Too Complicated, And Cover Their Emotions With Layers Of Well-intentioned Subterfuge, The Child Isn't Seeing Reality Clearly Enough And Gets Upset.

But Because We've All Been Readers, We Know What The Experience Is Like, And We Hope That What Certain Writers Have Given To Us, We Will Give To Someone.
