You gotta have swine to show you where the truffles are.

Art is nowhere near as dangerous as it should be.

I imagine as an axiom you could say that the better the play, the less "creativity" the director need exert.

The difference between critics and audiences is that one is a group of humans and one is not.

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

If you have no wounds, how can you know if you're alive?

If you examine the history of any playwright of the past twenty - five or thirty years - I'm not talking about the comedy boys, I'm talking about the more serious writers - it seems inevitable that almost every one has been encouraged until the critics feel that they have built them up beyond the point where they can control them; then it's time to knock them down again.
