[t]here Is Only One Large Circle That

American Straightforwardness Is Almost As Disarming As Americans Invariably Think It Is.

I Happen To Believe That Most People - And This Is Where I Differ From Many Of My Contemporaries, Or At Least As They Express Themselves - I Think That Virtually Every Human Being Is Dramatically Interesting. Not Only Is He Dramatically Interesting, He Is A Creature Of Stature Whoever He Is.

I Believe That One Of The Most Sound Ideas In Dramatic Writing Is That In Order To Create The Universal, You Must Pay Very Great Attention To The Specific. Universality, I Think, Emerges From Truthful Identity Of What Is.

One For Whom Bread- Food- Is Not Enough.
