Zitat des Tages von Jerome Lawrence:
The aftermath of the war is what inspired us to write many of our plays. The whole reason for our writing Inherit the Wind was that we were appalled at the blacklisting. We were appalled at thought control.
The man who has everything figured out is probably a fool.
In no instance is there to be a musical or opera of Inherit the Wind because it doesn't sing. It's an intellectual play.
It's always such a joy that you wake up in the morning and there's work to do.
Our only competition in the theater is boredom, because if I'm bored with a play, if I'm revolted by a play on stage, with the Broadway prices, especially today, I'm going to walk out and not come back and pay that price again.
I think enthusiasm is the answer to passionate writing.
A neurotic is a man who builds a castle in the air. A psychotic is the man who lives in it. A psychiatrist is the man who collects the rent.
The whole point of writing is to have something in your gut or in your soul or in your mind that's burning to be written.
All experience helps when you write.
