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.

However, the moral center of New York City, I believe, is the New York City Ballet.

People go to see beautiful paintings to see how much they cost. Wow. The practical value is that it shows you what the human spirit can do.

The life of a dancer is tragically short. What is remarkable about the New York City Ballet is that it makes us forget that. Because it keeps the ballet alive.

I only do business with the people I do business with. The people I do business with find out I do business with the people I don't do business with.... I can't do business with you.

I'm an American playwright. Tennessee Williams got in all our DNA.

You cannot write to resonate twenty or thirty or forty years from now. You only can write for that very day, but whatever happens is all gravy.
