I Think I Was Probably

There Are A Number Of Contemporary Playwrights Whom I Admire Enormously, But That's Not At All The Same Thing As Being Influenced.

Good Writers Define Reality; Bad Ones Merely Restate It.

By Some Curious Mischance, A Couple Of My Plays Managed To Hit An Area Where Commercial Success Was Feasible. But It's Wrong To Think I'm A Commercial Playwright Who Has Somehow Ceased His Proper Function. I Have Always Been The Same Thing - Which Is Not A Commercial Playwright. I'm Not After The Brass Ring.

If I've Been Accused A Number Of Times Of Writing Plays Where The Endings Are Ambivalent, Indeed, That's The Way I Find Life.

In Rehearsals I Get So Completely Wrapped Up With The Reality That's Occurring On Stage That By The Time The Play Has Opened I'm Not Usually Quite As Aware Of The Distinctions Between What I'd Intended And The Result. There Are Many Ways Of Getting The Same Result.
