More quotes by Edward Albee
There may be lots of questions that anybody - an actor or a director or anybody - can ask about a character in a play of mine that are not answered in the play, but if it's a question that I don't think is relevant, I don't bother about it. There's no reason to ask it.
Edward Albee
What I mean by an educated taste is someone who has the same tastes that I have.
Edward Albee
Dashed hopes and good intentions. Good, better, best, bested.
Edward Albee
What I wanted to get at is the value difference between pornographic playing-cards when you're a kid, and pornographic playing-cards when you're older. It's that when you're a kid you use the cards as a substitute for a real experience, and when you're older you use real experience as a substitute for the fantasy.
Edward Albee
I suppose if you simplify things, it's going to make it easier to understand.
Edward Albee
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.
Edward Albee
The act of creation, as you very well know, is a lonely and private matter and has nothing to do with the public area... the performance of the work one creates.
Edward Albee
Im not suggesting that the play is without fault all of my plays are imperfect, Im rather happy to say-it leaves me something to do.
Edward Albee
There are only two things to write about: life and death.
Edward Albee
My sense of reality and logic is different from most people's.
Edward Albee
A writer is a controlled schizophrenic.
Edward Albee
That's the happiest moment. When it's all done. When we stop. When we can stop.
Edward Albee
I write to find out what I'm talking about.
Edward Albee
The ultimate judgment of a work of art, whether it be a masterpiece or a lesser event, must be solely in terms of its artistic success and not on Freudian guesswork.
Edward Albee
I think you remember everything ... you just can't bring it to mind all the time.
Edward Albee
The most profound indication of social malignancy ... no sense of humor. None of the monoliths could take a joke.
Edward Albee
I have learned that neither kindness or cruelty by themselves, or independent of each other, create any effect beyond themselves.
Edward Albee
The responsibility of the writer is to be a sort of demonic social critic -- to present the world and people in it as he sees it and say, Do you like it? If you don't like it, change it.
Edward Albee
A lot of people are confused by hello. A lot of people are confused by a lot of things they shouldn't be confused by.
Edward Albee
In the theater, which is a sort of jungle, one does have to be a little bit careful. One mustn't be so rigid or egotistical to think that every comma is sacrosanct. But at the same time there is the danger of losing control and finding that somebody else has opened a play and not you.
Edward Albee
