I've never written an original piece for film; all the original things I've done are for the stage.

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

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.

We cross our bridges when we come to them and burn them behind us, with nothing to show for our progress except a memory of the smell of smoke, and a presumption that once our eyes watered.

Personally I am in favour of education but a university is not the place for it.

It is better to be quotable than to be honest.

Save the gerund and screw the whale.
