The one living playwright I admire without any reservation whatsoever is Samuel Beckett. I have funny feelings about almost all the others.

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

When one controls form, one doesn't do it with a stopwatch or a graph. One does it by sensing, again intuitively.

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

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

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

I don't like the climate in which writers have to work in the USA and I think it's my responsibility to talk about it.
