I have always been more interested in experiment, than in accomplishment.

My mother and father were both much more remarkable than any story of mine can make them. They seem to me just mythically wonderful.

I've always found it very sanitary to be broke.

I want to give the audience a hint of a scene. No more than that. Give them too much and they won't contribute anything themselves. Give them just a suggestion and you get them working with you. That's what gives the theater meaning: when it becomes a social act.

One shouldn't ever be conscious of the author as lecturer. When social or moral points are too heavily stressed, I always get uncomfortable.

If there hadn't been women we'd still be squatting in a cave eating raw meat, because we made civilization in order to impress our girlfriends.
