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

Happiness is equilibrium. Shift your weight. Equilibrium is pragmatic. You have to get everything into proportion. You compensate, rebalance yourself so that you maintain your angle to your world. When the world shifts, you shift.

Be happy -- if you're not even happy, what's so good about surviving?

I'm the kind of person who embarks on an endless leapfrog down the great moral issues. I put a position, rebut it, refute the rebuttal and rebut the refutation. Endlessly.

I'm going to be dead before I read the books I'm going to read.

I don't keep a diary and I throw away nearly all the paper I might have kept. I don't keep an archive. There's something worrying about my make-up that I try to leave no trace of myself apart from my plays.

Theatre is a series of insurmountable obstacles on the road to imminent disaster.
