I see within us all (myself included) the replacement of complex inner density with a new kind of self—evolving under the pressure of information overload and the technology of the ‘instantly available’.

You know, actually, I went to Yale because I wanted to stay out of the army.

One does not devote one's life in art to shock an audience.

There is no work of art that has ever been made that is absolutely truthful about life.

Which implies that the real issue in art is the audience's response. Now I claim that when I make things, I don't care about the audience's response, I'm making them for myself. But I'm making them for myself as audience, because I want to wake myself up.

My play is the ultimate expression of my feeling of the twilight of Western civilization.

If I wasn't in the theater, I would be a hermit.
