Zitat des Tages von Edward Albee:
One must let the play happen to one; one must let the mind loose to respond as it will, to receive impressions, to sense rather than know, to gather rather than immediately understand.
I'm not suggesting that the play is without fault; all of my plays are imperfect, I'm rather happy to say-it leaves me something to do.
A play is fiction - and fiction is fact distilled into truth.
You gotta have swine to show you where the truffles are.
Good writers define reality; bad ones merely restate it. A good writer turns fact into truth; a bad writer will, more often than not, accomplish the opposite.
He that has been bitten by a snake is afraid of a rope.
I swear, if you existed I'd divorce you.
What people really want in the theater is fantasy involvement and not reality involvement.
Your source material is the people you know, not those you don't know, but every character is an extension of the author's own personality.
The difference between critics and audiences is that one is a group of humans and one is not.
American critics are like American universities. They both have dull and half-dead faculties.
I have a fine sense of the ridiculous, but no sense of humor.
The thing that makes a creative person is to be creative and that is all there is to it.
Remember one thing about democracy. We can have anything we want and at the same time, we always end up with exactly what we deserve.
I am convinced that no one is fully educated without a full grounding in the arts.
