I am not interested in living in a city where there isn't a production by Samuel Beckett running.

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

If you intellectualize and examine the creative process too carefully it can evaporate and vanish. It's not only terribly difficult to talk about, it's also dangerous.

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

Im not suggesting that the play is without fault; all of my plays are imperfect, Im rather happy to say-it leaves me something to do.

Good writers define reality; bad ones merely restate it.

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