What Shakespeare and the Greeks were able to do was radically question what it meant to be a human being.

I think there is no world without theatre.

The human mind is a dramatic structure in itself and our society is absolutely saturated with drama

I write plays not to make money, but to stop myself from going mad. Because it's my way of making the world rational to me.

Violence is never a solution in my plays, just as ultimately violence is never a solution in human affairs.

Our unconscious is not more animal than our conscious, it is often even more human

The Greeks said very, very extreme things in their tragedies.
