To Write A Play One Must Be

Any Definition Which Limits Us Is Deplorable.

When People Can't Abide Things As They Are, When They Can't Abide The Present, They Do One Of Two Things ... Either They ... Either They Turn To A Contemplation Of The Past ... Or They Set About To ... Alter The Future. And When You Want To Change Something ... You Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

I Have A Fine Sense Of The Ridiculous, But No Sense Of Humor.

I Usually Think About A Play Anywhere From Six Months To A Year And A Half Before I Sit Down To Write It Out.

When You Write A Play, You Make A Set Of Assumptions -- That You Have Something To Say, That You Know How To Say It, That Its Worth Saying, And That Maybe Someone Will Come Along For The Ride.
