Everybody I know is writing plays twice a year. It's sort of making me feel I am not up to much.

I've always known that writing plays is very difficult, because I've written three or four that have never been produced.

Players today moan about the number of games, but when you're young, you can't play enough.

You know, most good playwrights write seven good plays and then something happens and after that they're crap.

I don't think I'll ever stop writing. I write almost every day. I'd write plays even if they were never done again. You're at the mercy of whatever talent you have.

I probably have a higher opinion of my writing than the average person, at least when I'm in a good mood, but I don't really think of my plays as only being relevant to a particular month or year.

You write a play mostly out of yourself. There's a need to get a certain thing down.

Actually, it is a fact that I've been doing more writing than playing in recent years.

What counts aren't the number of double plays, but the ones you should have had and missed.
