Like a dog, a playwright lives in an eternal present and a play is never closed.

I think a playwright must be his own dramaturg.

I'm sure there are some good dramaturgs but I've never worked with one.

You can't kind of take away, you either do or you don't. If you kind of take away something you're a failure.

I think of the New York City Ballet as the Yankees without George Steinbrenner.

I wanted to be a Bride of Christ but I guess now I'm a young divorcee.

I am the same artist with the same nagging questions I had in my early 20's. What's real and what isn't? How do we tell what's real in our lives? How do we see things as they are? What is my role in life? If the Signature hadn't forced the issue by devoting its season to my plays, I could at least believe I had changed. Really, they're all the same! What is SIX DEGREES OF SEPARATION but THE HOUSE OF BLUE LEAVES with money?
