People often ask me how long it takes me to write a play, and I tell them 'all of my life.'

I discover that I am thinking about a play, which is the first awareness I have that a new play is forming. When I'm aware of the play forming in my head, it's already at a certain degree in development.

What people really want in the theater is fantasy involvement and not reality involvement.

I have a fine sense of the ridiculous, but no sense of humor.

Musical beds is the faculty sport around here.

I’m infinitely more involved in the reality of the characters and their situation than I am in everyday life.

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