Having Spent Too Many Years In Show

I'm Responding To The Will Of The People.

Anyone Can Write Five People Trapped In A Snowstorm. The Question Is How You Get Them Into The Snowstorm. It's Hard To Write A Good Play Because It's Hard To Structure A Plot. If You Can Think Of It Off The Top Of Your Head, So Can The Audience. To Think Of A Plot That Is, As Aristotle Says, Surprising And Yet Inevitable, Is A Lot, Lot, Lot Of Work.

Do Not Internalize The Industrial Model. You Are Not One Of The Myriad Interchangeable Pieces, But A Unique Human Being, And If You've Got Something To Say, Say It, And Think Well Of Yourself While You're Learning To Say It Better.

We're All Put To The Test... But It Never Comes In The Form Or At The Point We Would Prefer, Does It?

A Novel It's Different. It's Kind Of Exhilarating Not To Have To Cut To The Bone Constantly. Oh, Well I Can Go Over Here For A Moment. I Can Say What I Think The Guy Was Thinking Or What The Day Looked Like Or What The Bird Was Doing. If You Do That As A Playwright, You're Dead.
