For a long time I managed to think two things simultaneously, that I am actually a good playwright, and that the next time I write a play I will be revealed as someone who is no good at all (Playwright Quotes)
As a playwright, you can cover a lot of waterfront without being able to hold your own against an expert in any of those areas. I have no illusions about that (Playwright Quotes)
Of course, you would have to be insane to hope your child grows up to be a playwright or poet. Given the odds, you would have to be quite cavalier about your children's future (Playwright Quotes)
A playwright... is... the litmus paper of the arts. He’s got to be, because if he isn’t working on the same wave length as the audience, no one would know what in hell he was talking about (Playwright Quotes)
I think a playwright realizes after he finishes working on the script that this is only the beginning. What will happen when it moves into three dimensions? (Playwright Quotes)

A playwright lives in an occupied country. And if you can’t live that way you don’t stay (Playwright Quotes)

To write a play one must be born a playwright. Otherwise, you’re starting at a huge disadvantage (Playwright Quotes)
In theater, the playwright is the boss, period. The decisions will go through him or her. In movies, the writer is pretty far down on the list (Playwright Quotes)
A playwright has a responsibility in his society not to aid it, or comfort it, but to comment and criticize it (Playwright Quotes)
I think that’s foolishness on the part of the playwright to write about himself. People don’t know anything about themselves (Playwright Quotes)
In terms of collaboration, working on a new piece is always thrilling, as I’m sure most people would say, because the playwright is in the room and the piece itself evolves in response to what is happening in the room (Playwright Quotes)
To me, the job of a playwright is to explore and bring to light our lives. You can’t hold back; you have to give in to this. Sometimes, you say things people don’t want to hear (Playwright Quotes)
A prose writer never sees a reader walk out of a book; for a playwright, it’s another matter. An audience is an invaluable education. In my experience, theatre artists don’t know what they’ve made until they’ve made it (Playwright Quotes)
