To be able to write a play a man must be sensitive, imaginative, naive, gullible, passionate; he must be something of an imbecile, something of a poet, something of a liar, something of a damn fool.

We all come from our own little planets. That's why we're all different. That's what makes life interesting.

Poor, dear God. Playing Idiot's Delight. The game that never means anything, and never ends.

Tenterhooks are the upholstery of the anxious seat.

That's the whole story of my life: frustration. It's a chronic disease, and it's incurable.

I remember when I was younger, there was a well-known writer who used to dart down the back way whenever saw me coming. I suppose he was in love with me and wasn't quite sure of himself. Well, c'est la vie!
