I think now that the great thing is not so much the formulation of an answer for myself, for the theater, or the play - but rather the most accurate possible statement of the problem.

The best of our theater is standing on tiptoe, striving to see over the shoulders of father and mother. The worst is exploiting and wallowing in the self-pity …

The job is to ask questions - it always was - and to ask them as inexorably as I can. And to face the absence of precise answers with a certain humility.

A good newspaper, I suppose, is a nation talking to itself.

Whenever a theory appears to you as the only possible one, take this as a sign that you have neither understood the theory nor the problem which it was intende…

I tend to over-intellectualize things, to come at them from a structural point.

I cannot define the real problem, therefore I suspect there's no real problem, but I'm not sure there's no real problem.
