I Don't Like Symbolism That Hits You

When You Write A Play, You Make A Set Of Assumptions -- That You Have Something To Say, That You Know How To Say It, That Its Worth Saying, And That Maybe Someone Will Come Along For The Ride.

Progress Is A Set Of Assumptions.

You're Alive Only Once, As Far As We Know, And What Could Be Worse Than Getting To The End Of Your Life And Realizing You Hadn't Lived It?

When I Was Fifteen I Wrote Seven Hundred Pages Of An Incredibly Bad Novel - It's A Very Funny Book I Still Like A Lot. Then, When I Was Nineteen I Wrote A Couple Hundred Pages Of Another Novel, Which Wasn't Very Good Either. I Was Still Determined To Be A Writer. And Since I Was A Writer, And Here I Was Twenty-nine Years Old And I Wasn't A Very Good Poet And I Wasn't A Very Good Novelist, I Thought I Would Try Writing A Play, Which Seems To Have Worked Out A Little Better.

Creativity Is Magic. Don't Examine It Too Closely.
