More quotes by Donald Margulies
Playwriting is all about empathy, getting inside the head of someone who is not you, to think like they think without judging them.
Donald Margulies
I like to flip through play scripts, not just my own there is something exciting about seeing printed language on a page that triggers responses in me.
Donald Margulies
People often tell me, You write such great women. I don't think about it, I just write characters as rigorously and as truthfully as I can and hope, no matter their gender, that their humanity comes through.
