Every play is so important. It's a record of what life was like at the time you wrote that play or that book.

I think a playwright must be his own dramaturg. I believe in a theater where the director and the playwright work together to create what they need.

I think that some of these plays are lost in this new horror called development, which is a place for dramaturgs to say "let me tell you what your play means," and the life gets sucked out of a play.

I believe that the imagination is the passport we create to take us into the real world. I believe the imagination is another phrase for what is most uniquely us.

The rich live hand-to-mouth too-just on a higher level.

You can read ten books and finally come across one detail, and it's like, "now everything else makes sense. Now I know where I am."
