I Don't Feel That Catharsis In A Play Necessarily Takes Place During The Course Of A Play. Often It Should Take Place Afterward.

When You Get Old, You Can't Talk To People Because People Snap At You.... That's Why You Become Deaf, So You Won't Be Able To Hear People Talking To You That Way.

If The Playwright Is Strong Enough To Hold On To Reasonable Objectivity In The Face Of Either Hostility Or Praise, He'll Do His Work The Way He Was Going To Anyway.

I Find That In The Course Of The Day When I'm Writing, After Three Or Four Hours Of Intense Work, I Have A Splitting Headache, And I Have To Stop. Because The Involvement, Which Is Both Creative And Self-critical, Is So Intense That I've Got To Stop Doing It.

I Do Not Invent Characters. There They Are. That's Who They Are. That's Their Nature. They Talk And They Behave The Way They Want To Behave. I Don't Have A Character Behaving One Way, Then A Point Comes In The Play Where The Person Has To Either Stay Or Leave. If I Had It Plotted That The Person Leaves, Then The Person Leaves. If That's What The Person Wants To Do. I Let The Person Do What The Person Wants Or Has To Do At The Time Of The Event.
