Some things that make sense to me don't make the same degree of sense to other people.

Maybe it's a little more pertinent now since the whole concept of evolution is being questioned by the know-nothing Republican right. Yes, maybe the play's a little more pertinent now.

Naturally, no writer who's any good at all would sit down and put a sheet of paper in a typewriter and start typing a play unless he knew what he was writing about.

I usually think about a play anywhere from six months to a year and a half before I sit down to write it out.

I think it's for the critics to decide whether or not their loathing of the play is based on something other than the play's merits or demerits. They must search their own souls, or whatever.

Do you know what a playwright is? A playwright is someone who lets his guts hang out on the stage.

There are only two things to write about: life and death.
