Poetry Is The Key To The Hieroglyphics

I Don't See The Theater As An Establishment. The National Theatre Has Always Seemed To Me A People's Theater. It Was Never Meant To Reinforce The Values Of The Government Of The Day, Nor Does It, Nor Should It.

It's Inevitable That You Will Die, So The Only Question Is When. The Great Thrillers Are The Moments That Play And Tease With The Question, "when Will It Be?"

What Politicians Want And What Creative Writers Want Will Always Be Profoundly Different, Because I'm Afraid All Politicians, Of Whatever Hue, Want Propaganda, And Writers Want The Truth, And They're Not Compatible.

The Theatre Is The Best Way Of Showing The Gap Between What Is Said And What Is Seen To Be Done, And That Is Why, Ragged And Gap-toothed As It Is, It Has Still A Far Healthier Potential Than Some Poorer, Abandoned Arts.
