Eugene O'Neil created an American theater, and Tennessee Williams taught it how to sing.

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

You can read ten books and finally come across one detail, and it's like, "now everything else makes sense. Now I know where I am."

Avoiding humiliation is the core of tragedy and comedy.

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

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.

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.
