I Suppose, Writing A Play Is Finding

Unless You Are Terribly, Terribly Careful, You Run The Danger-- Without Even Knowing It Is Happening To You-- Of Slipping Into The Fatal Error Of Reflecting The Public Taste Instead Of Creating It. Your Responsibility Is To The Public Consciousness, Not To The Public View Of Itself.

Writing Should Be Useful. If It Can’t Instruct People A Little Bit More About The Responsibilities Of Consciousness, There’s No Point In Doing It.

Read The Great Stuff, But Read The Stuff That Isn't So Great, Too. Great Stuff Is Very Discouraging. If You Read Only Beckett And Chekhov, You'll Go Away And Only Deliver Telegrams For Western Union.

I Have A Fine Sense Of The Ridiculous, But No Sense Of Humor.

I Think That's Foolishness On The Part Of The Playwright To Write About Himself. People Don't Know Anything About Themselves.
