Save the gerund and screw the whale.

I'm a very boring person.

I write fiction because it's a way of making statements I can disown.

Writing a play is like smashing that [glass] ashtray, filming it in slow motion, and then running the film in reverse, so that the fragments of rubble appear to fly together. You start - or at least I start - with the rubble.

Sometimes directors feel a script needs something, but they're not sure what it is, so they show it to a friend; if the friend is a writer, he ends up kicking around with that script for a while.

Every exit is an entry somewhere else.

My scripts are possibly too talkative.
