Never fight fair with a stranger, boy. You'll never get out of the jungle that way.

The theater is so endlessly fascinating because it's so accidental. It's so much like life.

Can anyone remember love? It's like trying to summon up the smell of roses in a cellar. You might see a rose, but never the perfume.

I'm the end of the line; absurd and appalling as it may seem, serious New York theater has died in my lifetime.

If I have to be alone I want to be by myself.

You specialize in something until one day it is specializing in you.
