More quotes by 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
Progress is a set of assumptions.
Edward Albee
I'm not responsible for the commercialization. The people who produce the plays are responsible for it.
Edward Albee
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
Careers are funny things. They begin mysteriously and, just as mysteriously, they can end.
Edward Albee
The thing that makes a creative person is to be creative and that is all there is to it.
Edward Albee
The final evaluation of a play has nothing to do with immediate audience or critical response.
Edward Albee
Some writers' view of things depends upon the success of the final result. I'd rather stand or fall on my own concepts. But there is a fine line to be drawn between pointing up something or distorting it.
Edward Albee
I think it is the responsibility of critics to rely less strenuously on, to use a Hollywood phrase, what they can live with, and more on an examination of the works of art from an aesthetic and clinical point of view.
Edward Albee
The only time I'll get good reviews is if I kill myself.
Edward Albee
One has always got to be terribly careful, since the theater is made up of a whole bunch of prima donnas, not to let the distortions occur.
Edward Albee
I was twenty-nine years old and I wasn't a very good poet and I wasn't a very good novelist, [so] I thought I would try writing a play, which seems to have worked out a little better.
Edward Albee
I have learned that neither kindness or cruelty by themselves, or independent of each other, create any effect beyond themselves.
Edward Albee
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
Martha: Oh, I like your anger. I think that's what I like about you most. Your anger.
Edward Albee
Good writers define reality bad ones merely restate it. A good writer turns fact into truth a bad writer will, more often than not, accomplish the opposite.
Edward Albee
There are only two things to write about: life and death.
Edward Albee
The most profound indication of social malignancy ... no sense of humor. None of the monoliths could take a joke.
Edward Albee
A writer is a controlled schizophrenic.
Edward Albee
I think you remember everything ... you just can't bring it to mind all the time.
Edward Albee
