And as you walk yr road, as you live yr life, RELISH THE ROAD. And relish the fact that the road of yr life will probably be a windy road.

Quality is like quantity, but there's a lot less of it.

Every play I write is about love and distance. And time. And from that we can get things like history.

I knew that I was learning one of the most important lessons of my life: that instead of waiting for the perfect opportunity, I should work toward a realization that every opportunity is perfect.

Youre only yourself when no ones watching!

I love beautiful black-and-white movies - anything Bette Davis, especially Now, Voyager, Casablanca, Mildred Pierce anything by Orson Welles, Truffaut, or Godard and Paper Moon by Peter Bogdanovich.

The writing of Topdog was a great gift. I feel the play came to me because I realized that my circumstances, while causing me despair and heartbreak, also held great possibility, if only I could see it.

I don't consciously start writing a play that involves issues. After it's done, I sit back like everyone else and think about what it means.

Each moment is perfect and heaven-sent, in that each moment holds the seeds for growth.

Be bold. Envision yourself living a life that you love. Believe, even if you can only muster your faith for just this moment, believe that the sort of life you wish to live is, at this very moment, just waiting for you to summon it up. And when you wish for it, you begin moving toward it, and it, in turn, begins moving toward you.
