Back in the East you can't do much without the right papers, but with the right papers you can do anything The believe in papers. Papers are power.

Rosencrantz: Shouldn't we be doing something--constructive? Guildenstern: What did you have in mind? ... A short, blunt human pyramid...?

Audiences know what to expect, and that is all that they are prepared to believe in.

Theater is still a medium which attracts young writers. You'd think that it would be all over by now, with television and film. But it's not.

Rosencrantz: I don't believe in it anyway. Guildenstern: What? Rosencrantz: England. Guildenstern: Just a conspiracy of cartographers, then?

I write for film or, in this case, television when I haven't got a play cooking.

I'm vaguely embarrassed by myself sometimes.
