I'm More Boring And More Conservative.

It Never Occurred To Me To Be An Actor.

When I Have Failed As An Actor I've Always Thought It Was My Fault. But When I Direct Something, I Wouldn't Want The Actors To Think It Was Their Fault.

I Don't Have A Saviour Or A Royal Family.

All You Have Is The Writer's Imagination. You Have A Very Limited Time To Take This Imaginary Person And Bring The Details Of Their Life, As You Perceive Them, To Life. You Attempt To Do To That As Fully And As Vibrantly As You Can. It's Depressing To Read How Much You've Failed. And It's Not Even Particularly Instructive Or Necessary To Read How You Succeeded Because In The End Don't You Have To Judge That?

When You Do A Really Good Play, The Audience And The Performers Are Looking Into The Same Looking Glass, The Same Microscope. And The Specimen They Are Looking At Is Human Life And That's Why I Do It, That's Why I Like It.
