The notion that women are less aesthetically profound and innovative than men--just not very important, if you know what I mean--doubtless spreads back to our beginnings as upright animals: the males hunted and killed for the family while the females stayed home in the cave and tended the strange little creatures they were giving birth to.

That's the happiest moment. When it's all done. When we stop. When we can stop.

Your source material is the people you know, not those you don't know, but every character is an extension of the author's own personality.

I imagine as an axiom you could say that the better the play, the less creativity the director need exert.
Edward Albee

You may dislike the intention enormously but your judgment of the artistic merit of the work must not be based on your view of what it's about. The work of art must be judged by how well it succeeds in its intention.

There are only two things to write about: life and death.

Writing has got to be an act of discovery....I write to find out what I'm thinking about.
Edward Albee
Image
When you get old, you can't talk to people because people snap at you.... That's why you become deaf, so you won't be able to hear people talking to you that way.

The government is far more interested in taking, in regulated taking, than in promoting spontaneous generosity.
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.
Edward Albee
Image
One must let the play happen to one one must let the mind loose to respond as it will, to receive impressions, to sense rather than know, to gather rather than immediately understand.
Edward Albee
Image
The most profound indication of social malignancy ... no sense of humor. None of the monoliths could take a joke.
Edward Albee
Image
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.

Writing should be useful. If it can’t instruct people a little bit more about the responsibilities of consciousness, there’s no point in doing it.

There are lots of young vital playwrights who are experimenting, and these are the plays that people who are interested in the theatre should see. They should go off Broadway. They should go to the cafe theatres and see the experiments that are being made.

As a playwright, I imagine that in one fashion or another I've been influenced by every single play I've ever experienced.
