The Most Important Playwright's Gift

The Great Mystery Of Adaptation Is That True Fidelity Can Only Be Achieved Through Lavish Promiscuity.

The Theatre Is The Best Way Of Showing The Gap Between What Is Said And What Is Seen To Be Done, And That Is Why, Ragged And Gap-toothed As It Is, It Has Still A Far Healthier Potential Than Some Poorer, Abandoned Arts.

. . . It Is True That Language And Forward Movement In The Cinema Are Jolly Hard To Reconcile. It's A Very, Very, Difficult Thing To Do. . . . There Is Still A Place In The Cinema For Movies That Are Driven By The Human Face, And Not By Explosions And Cars And Guns And Action Sequences . . . There's Such A Thing As Action And Speed Within Thought Rather Than Within A Ceaseless Milkshake Of Images.

The Most Important Playwright's Gift Is To Hit Your Time And Speak To Your Time.

It's Inevitable That You Will Die, So The Only Question Is When. The Great Thrillers Are The Moments That Play And Tease With The Question, "when Will It Be?"
