Once you've opened yourself up, it's best to go all the way.

[When you write a play] you walk into a forest without a knife, without a compass. But . . . if you have a sense of geography, you find that you're clearing a path and getting to the right place.

Standing on a ledge again. Everyone laughs at dancing monkey with the typewriter. Not for long, though.

I never write a play with an eye to film.

The body of a young woman is God's greatest achievement...Of course, He could have built it to last longer but you can't have everything.

Take care of him. And make him feel important. And if you can do that, you'll have a happy and wonderful marriage. Like two out of every ten couples.

I don't want to restrict the life of a play to a particular production. The original actors might leave after the first six months, and I want the play to last 30 or 40 years. You write for the character, not the actor on the stage.
