If you're willing to fail interestingly, you tend to succeed interestingly.

There are a number of contemporary playwrights whom I admire enormously, but that's not at all the same thing as being influenced.

Every monster was a man first.

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

The final evaluation of a play has nothing to do with immediate audience or critical response.

Every writer's got to pay some attention, I suppose, to what his critics say because theirs is a reflection of what the audience feels about his work.

I find that when my plays are going well, they seem to resemble pieces of music. But if I had to go into specifics about it, I wouldn't be able to. It's merely something that I feel.
