I'm not responsible for the commercialization. The people who produce the plays are responsible for it.
Edward Albee
Image
When people don't like the way a play ends, they're likely to blame the play.
Edward Albee
Image
Well, when I was six years old I decided, not that I was going to be, but with my usual modesty, that I was a writer.
Edward Albee
Image
All plays are social comment to one extent or another.
Edward Albee
Image
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

Edward Albee

Careers are funny things. They begin mysteriously and, just as mysteriously, they can end.
Edward Albee
Image
Writing has got to be an act of discovery....I write to find out what I'm thinking about.
Edward Albee
Image
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.

Good writers define reality bad ones merely restate it.
Edward Albee
Image
I find relatively little relationship between the work of art and the immediate critical response it gets.
Edward Albee
Image
The one living playwright I admire without any reservation whatsoever is Samuel Beckett. I have funny feelings about almost all the others.

You want to dance with me, angel tits?
