Quote

Actors should be timeless and impersonal.

One hundred and ten years from now no one who is here now will be alive.

The ideas of the great playwrights are almost always larger than the experiences of even the best actors.

I never wanted to be a playwright.

All critics should be assassinated.

All actors should experience public failure.

In general, writers shouldn't be killed for what they write, though I can think of exceptions.

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

A thousand painters ought to be killed yearly. Say what you like: I'm every inch a painter.
