To write a play one must be born a playwright. Otherwise, you're starting at a huge disadvantage.

I write to find out what I'm talking about.

I have learned that neither kindness or cruelty by themselves, or independent of each other, create any effect beyond themselves.

Any definition which limits us is deplorable.

I am not interested in living in a city where there isn't a production by Samuel Beckett running.

Very few people who met my adoptive mother in the last 20 years of her life could abide her, while many people who have seen my play find her fascinating. Heavens, what have I done?!

Writing should be useful. If it can’t instruct people a little bit more about the responsibilities of consciousness, there’s no point in doing it.
