I'm interested in the real world.

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

You have to learn the language of Hamlet.

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.

Art is the close scrutiny of reality and therefore I put on the stage only those things that I know happen in our society.
