Edward Albee
First, I'll kill the dog with kindness, and if that doesn't work, I'll just kill him.
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.
Edward Albee
Musical beds is the faculty sport around here.
Edward Albee
The thing that makes a creative person is to be creative and that is all there is to it.
Edward Albee
Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
Edward Albee
I write to find out what I'm talking about.
Edward Albee
I find that when my plays are going well, they seem to resemble pieces of music. But if I had to go into specifics about it, I wouldn't be able to. It's merely something that I feel.
Edward Albee
