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

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 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.

The power of the past to still dominate our thinking today.

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

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 don't think about taking a risk. I think about how far can I go. How can I make myself. What are the risks I must create.
