Theater is a recreation. It can be much more, but unless it's recreation, I don't see the point of it.

Maturity is a high price to pay for growing up.

I'm offended by things and take pathetic little stands against them.

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.

We do on stage things that are supposed to happen off. Which is a kind of integrity, if you look on every exit as being an entrance somewhere else.

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

Well I believe in the desirability of an optimal society.
