Writing Has Got To Be An Act

You're Alive Only Once, As Far As We Know, And What Could Be Worse Than Getting To The End Of Your Life And Realizing You Hadn't Lived It?

The Health Of A Nation, A Society, Can Be Determined By The Art It Demands. We Have Insisted Of Television And Our Movies That They Not Have Anything To Do With Anything, That They Be Our Never-never Land; And If We Demand This Same Function Of Our Live Theatre, What Will Be Left Of The Visual-auditory Arts - Save The Dance (in Which Nobody Talks) And Music (to Which Nobody Listens)?

Dashed Hopes And Good Intentions. Good, Better, Best, Bested.

One Has Always Got To Be Terribly Careful, Since The Theater Is Made Up Of A Whole Bunch Of Prima Donnas, Not To Let The Distortions Occur.

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