You'd be surprised how many kings are only a queen with a moustache.

Boredom is the keynote of poverty — of all its indignities, it is perhaps the hardest of all to live with — for where there is no money there is no change of any kind, not of scene or of routine. To be able to break out of its dark brown sameness.

There is nothing that one can say about acting, writing, producing or directing that cannot be revoked in the next breath. Nothing is immutable. The logic of one year is a folly of the next.

One begins with two people on a stage, and one of them had better say something pretty quick.

Far more quickly than reason and logic, irony can penetrate rage and puncture self-pity.

There is nothing like tasting the grit of fear for rediscovering that the umbilical cord is made of piano wire.

The theatre breeds its own kind of cruelty, and its sadism takes on a keener edge since it can be enjoyed under the innocent guise of critical judgment.
