One does not devote one's life in art to shock an audience.
If I wasn't in the theater, I would be a hermit.
It's true, I don't like the real world.
You know, actually, I went to Yale because I wanted to stay out of the army.
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.
