Any revival in which I am involved is liable to change.

I think that the present is worth attention, one shouldn't sacrifice it to future conceptions of, of this future or that future.

I don't think I can be expected to take seriously any game which takes less than three days to reach its conclusion.

The fact is that people are attracted to new work and by new work.

I'm attracted to the past.

You're familiar with the tragedies of antiquity, are you? The great homicidal classics?

Words... They're innocent, neutral, precise, standing for this, describing that, meaning the other, so if you look after them you can build bridges across incomprehension and chaos. But when they get their corners knocked off, they're no good any more... I don't think writers are sacred, but words are. They deserve respect. If you get the right ones in the right order, you can nudge the world a little or make a poem which children will speak for you when you're dead.
