I probably have a higher opinion of my writing than the average person, at least when I'm in a good mood, but I don't really think of my plays as only being relevant to a particular month or year.

When I was a child, I did always feel that people were hiding things, and that they weren't expressing their true feelings. When adults are too complicated, and cover their emotions with layers of well-intentioned subterfuge, the child isn't seeing reality clearly enough and gets upset.

My plays have been strange from the beginning, and they never got unstrange.

A play presents a self-enclosed little world for the audience to examine. It's an opportunity to look objectively at a group of people, to assess them, to react to them, and to measure oneself against them, to ask 'Am I like that?'

I don't have a television, and I'm just not too up on television.

I do things, and other people laugh at them. I rarely know what the joke is supposed to be or why they're laughing.

Who says one instance of writing has anything in common with another instance?
