We respond to a drama to that extent to which it corresponds to our dreamlife.

I think that I am interested in the resonance between character drama and high stakes, either situational or political or social or other kind of elevated drama, and I tend to find that those things combust.

But what is drama? Broadly speaking, it is whatever by imitative action rouses interest or gives pleasure.

I'm drawn to dramas that make people think. I want to make an impact.

Drama is about conflict, and it's about putting obstacles in the path of people you who care about.

Now, drama is quite useful at helping us to understand what our position is and, conversely, we might then understand why our theatre is being destroyed.

I think there's true drama in the formation of everything that we know and are standing on the shoulders of.

I find myself gravitating towards drama. It interests me. In the books I read, the paintings I like, it's always the darker stuff.

I think plays have nothing to do with one's own personal life. Not in my experience, anyway. The stuff of drama has to do, not with your subject matter, anyway, but with how you treat it. Drama includes pain, loss, regret - that's what drama is about!

Forgive me, but what is the purpose of drama but catharsis?
