There's nothing regular about my life at all, really. I don't keep a regular schedule and every day is different. It's all rather chaotic.

'The Princess Bride' is by far the most popular film I've ever done. I don't think I'll ever top it.

As writers, we can't predict who might come along who might find our offerings valuable.

After being in one movie, it didn't seem like that would be my life. I had done several jobs, briefly. I'd been a shipping clerk, I worked in a copy shop, I didn't think the acting was going to go on and on.

You're always fighting the contradiction between the supposed intimacy of a two-person conversation and the blunt reality that you're trying to sell the play to people who are sitting maybe too far away from you.

I don't have an idea for a play until after I've finished writing it. I write first, and come up with what it's about later. My technique could be compared to having a large canvas and coming in every day and putting a dot on it somewhere, and after several years - literally - I begin to say, That reminds me of an elephant, so I think I'll make it one.

In real life, every person is the leading man or woman. We don't think of ourselves as supporting or character actors.
