As you write plays, you discover what you believe. And until you know what you believe, you can't write a play.

Via Dolorosa is the only thing I have ever acted in my life, professionally, and Ill never act again.

[VIA DOLOROSA]'s pushing Broadway as far as it can be pushed. I stand before you as a reporter, and you have to decide whether I'm an honest reporter or not. And if you're convinced that I am honest, then I think that you will listen to me in a way that you wouldn't have listened to a fiction where scenes are made. . . . I've thought quite long and hard about what I want to say in this play. And if it means that every single sentiment that I produce is put minutely under an ideological microscope, that's fine.

In oratory the will must predominate.

Writers always sound insufferably smug when they sit back and assert that their job is only to ask questions and not to answer them. But, in good part, it is true. And once you become committed to one particular answer, your freedom to ask new questions is seriously impaired.

The one thing that Via Dolorosa has is no opinions. To me, curiosity is 50 times as valuable as opinion.

Sudden resolutions, like the sudden rise of mercury in a barometer, indicate little else than the variability of the weather.
