I think that every year that the New York City Ballet is alive is worthy of celebration. Because otherwise the terrible thing is just that we take it for granted.

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

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

Does the New York City Ballet affect other places? Yeah, it lets people know they should come to New York.

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

People rewrite the play so much to make it palatable to the audience, to make something clear, that they just deaden it. Like it was left it in the oven too long.

There's no American playwright after 1945 who wasn't profoundly affected - who didn't have their DNA changed by Tennessee Williams.
