I swear, if you existed I'd divorce you.
Edward Albee

Sometimes it's necessary to go a long distance out of the way in order to come back a short distance correctly.
Edward Albee

By some curious mischance, a couple of my plays managed to hit an area where commercial success was feasible. But it's wrong to think I'm a commercial playwright who has somehow ceased his proper function. I have always been the same thing - which is not a commercial playwright. I'm not after the brass ring.

Being different is ... interesting there's nothing implicitly inferior or superior about it. Great difference, of course, produces natural caution and if the differences are too extreme ... well, then, reality tends to fade away.
Edward Albee
Image
True, I don't begin with an idea for a play - a thesis, in other words, to construct the play around. But I know a good deal about the nature of the characters. I know a great deal about their environment. And I more or less know what is going to happen in the play.

All plays are social comment to one extent or another.
Edward Albee
Image
It always seems to me better to slough off the answer to a question that I consider to be a terrible invasion of privacy - the kind of privacy that a writer must keep for himself.

First, I'll kill the dog with kindness, and if that doesn't work, I'll just kill him.
Edward Albee
Image
The most profound indication of social malignancy ... no sense of humor. None of the monoliths could take a joke.

Image
A lot interests me - but nothing surprises me particularly.
Edward Albee
Image
As a playwright, I imagine that in one fashion or another I've been influenced by every single play I've ever experienced.
Edward Albee

What I mean by an educated taste is someone who has the same tastes that I have.
Edward Albee

Every monster was a man first.

I'm back in fashion again for a while now. But I imagine that three or four years from now I'll be out again. And in another fifteen years I'll be back. If you try to write to stay in fashion, if you try to write to be the critics' darling, you become an employee.
Edward Albee
Image
I said I was impressed, Martha. I'm beside myself with jealousy. What do you want me to do, throw up?
Edward Albee

Read the great stuff, but read the stuff that isn't so great, too. Great stuff is very discouraging. If you read only Beckett and Chekhov, you'll go away and only deliver telegrams for Western Union.

A writer is a controlled schizophrenic.
Edward Albee
Image
It is a lazy public which promotes a slothful and irresponsible theater.
Edward Albee
Image
I am pleased and reassured by the fact that a lot of younger playwrights seem to pay me some attention and gain some nourishment from what I do.

I think we should all live on the precipe of life, as fully and as dangerously as possible. Everyone should make the assumption that they're going through life only once. Tomorrow we die. Why not take chances, extend yourself? How awful it is when a person comes to the end of life full of regret.
