Responsibilities gravitate to the person who can shoulder them.

Before Plato could describe love, the loved one had to be invented. We would never love anybody if we could see past our invention. Bosie is my creation, my poem. In the mirror of invention, love discovered itself.

I'm attracted to the past.

I cannot say that I write with any social objective. One writes because one loves writing, really.

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.

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

I began writing for theater, and maybe because of that I've always thought of myself as a theater writer who does work in film sometimes.
