Zitat des Tages von Terrence McNally:
If you're trying to write something that you don't understand and embrace at the very core of you, it's not going to turn out with quite the authenticity and passion it should have.
I'm of the school 'Write what you know.' You can educate yourself, but the best writing usually comes from the heart.
I may think I have inalienable rights to be alive and happy, but I don't - life is a blessing.
I've had wonderful collaborators. They're very different, just as actors are. Working on a show with Nathan Lane is different from working on a show with Chita Rivera. It keeps you on your toes because it's different every time.
Cheating is not the American way. It is small, while we are large. It is cheap, while we are richly endowed. It is destructive, while we are creative. It is doomed to fail, while our gifts and responsibilities call us to achieve. It sabotages trust and weakens the bonds of spirit and humanity, without which we perish.
I like to surprise myself. I've always been attracted to projects where I don't know how they're going to turn out.
