There never is any such thing as one truth to be found in dramatic art. There are many.

I don't write with any audience in mind. I just write. I take a chance on the audience. That's what I did originally, and I think it's worked--in the sense that I find there is an audience.

Good writing excites me, and makes life worth living.
