There's Nothing Regular About My Life At

I Think I'm Trying To Write Truthfully About Life, And Naturalism, Or The Way People Normally Talk In Movies, Is A Convention. It's Not The Way People Talk In Life At All.

I Don't Have An Idea For A Play Until After I've Finished Writing It. I Write First, And Come Up With What It's About Later. My Technique Could Be Compared To Having A Large Canvas And Coming In Every Day And Putting A Dot On It Somewhere, And After Several Years - Literally - I Begin To Say, That Reminds Me Of An Elephant, So I Think I'll Make It One.

It Is Hard Enough To Make A Plan For How You Are Going To Spend An Evening With Somebody Else. So To Make A Plan For How You Are Going To Behave In 25 Years Seems Based On A View Of Life That Is Incomprehensible To Me.

I Grew Up In A Very Polite Family, And I Suppose My Parents Were Both Very Polite, And From The Time I Was A Young Boy, I Suspected That There Were Passions Seething Underneath And Not Being Mentioned, And That Was Something That Came To Preoccupy Me. Somehow I Had Some Drive To Write Down What People Might Really Be Thinking.

I Have An Enormous Appetite To See Life As I Know It Presented In Front Of My Eyes.
