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

If my relation to each and every peasant in Cambodia is indeed exactly what the principles of morality would demand it to be, it's a miraculous coincidence, because it takes a lot of effort to behave correctly in regard to my friends, and from one end of the year to another I never give those peasants a single thought.

When I was first starting to write plays, I quite literally had never heard of the idea of studying playwriting. I wouldn't have studied it even if I had heard of it.

I have more free time than a lot of individuals, so, instead of talking, I sometimes write.

For me, a play is a form of writing which isn't complete until it is interpreted by actors. But it's still a form of writing. And so most of my time is spent thinking about how to write a sentence.

But because we've all been readers, we know what the experience is like, and we hope that what certain writers have given to us, we will give to someone.

You know, I haven't written as much as most other writers. Certainly maybe those who keep a more regular schedule accomplish more.
