If the audience is made to do not enough work, they resent it without knowing it. Too much and they get lost. There's a perfect pace to be found. And a perfect place that is different for every line of the play.

As a playwright, you can cover a lot of waterfront without being able to hold your own against an expert in any of those areas. I have no illusions about that.

If you took away everything in the world that had to be invented, there'd be nothing left except a lot of people getting rained on.

I should have the courage of my lack of convictions.

I like plays where people talk a lot. Conversation is sustained. Argument is sustained.

Eternity's a terrible thought. I mean, where's it all going to end?

I've got no interest in educating or instructing people.
