Playwrights are like men who have been dining for a month in an Indian restaurant. After eating curry night after night, they deny the existence of asparagus.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Being a playwright is like the equivalent of doing a jigsaw puzzle that has 1,500 pieces, and it's a jigsaw of a blue sky. Not a cloud in sight.
It was kind of enlightening to become a playwright.
Good asparagus needs minimal treatment and is best eaten with few other ingredients.
In theatre, there's no time for a proper meal.
The reason why I hate working in theatre is the tedium of memorisation. But once that is done, then you feast on this never-ending meal. If you play it correctly, every night is fraught with very high stakes that are very difficult to find in everyday life.
As a playwright, you are a torturer of actors and of the audience as well. You inflict things on people.
I love fresh vegetables and we always include them in our meals. I don't force my kids to eat asparagus, but they do eat peas, broccoli, and carrots.
A playwright must be his own audience. A novelist may lose his readers for a few pages; a playwright never dares lose his audience for a minute.
An actor without a playwright is like a hole without a doughnut.
Asparagus inspires gentle thoughts.
