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.

There's no such thing as a perfect play. Sometimes you have to protect the life of the play.

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.

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

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.
