Even if you play perfectly, a fault of your opponent's can destroy the entire beauty of the game.

When I make a bad play, it frustrates the heck out of me, even in practice.

It's my job to get us in good plays, or more importantly, out of bad plays. That's what I did.

I write my plays to create an excuse for full-tilt acting and performing.

The idea of a rupture between acts occurs in a number of my plays.

At the heart of the failure of most plays is the inability to carry on a thoughtful conversation about your work with yourself.

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.

Mistakes are part of the game. It's how well you recover from them, that's the mark of a great player.

You don't want to play a perfect person; no one cares about that.
