The Happy Problem Of Our Time -

I've Always Had Great Satisfaction Out Of Writing The Plays. I've Not Always Had Great Satisfaction Out Of Seeing Them Produced-although Often I've Had Satisfaction There. When Things Go Well In Production, On Opening There's No Nicer Feeling In The World-what Could Be Nicer Than Watching An Audience Respond? You Can't That From A Book. It's A Fine Feeling To Walk Into The Theater And See Living People Respond To Something You've Done.

Nobody Knows What You Want Except You. And Nobody Will Be As Sorry As You If You Don't Get It. Wanting Some Other Way To Live Is Proof Enough Of Deserving It. Having It Is Hard Work, But Not Having It Is Sheer Hell.

Nobody Outside Of A Baby Carriage Or A Judge's Chamber Believes In An Unprejudiced Point Of View.

Maybe Money Is Unreal For Most Of Us, Easier To Give Away Than Things We Want.

If I Had To Give Young Writers Advice, I Would Say Don't Listen To Writers Talking About Writing Or Themselves.
