I consider myself to be a very fortunate person and to have led a very fortunate life.

You always end up with too much, so it's good to be part of the conversation about not just what you can omit, but how you are going to do the grammar of the omission, how you make things continue to work when there's something missing. It's your last chance to rewrite.

...Everything has to be taken on trust; truth is only that what is taken to be true. It's the currency if living. There may be nothing behind it, but it doesn't make any difference so long as it is honoured. One acts on assumptions. What do you assume?

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

I don't really have a system or set of principles. It's kind of common sense mixed up with instinct.

I'm so grateful to grab hold of something that wants to be a play. It doesn't happen very often. I don't have unwritten plays waiting for their turn.

The fact is that people are attracted to new work and by new work.
