First, I'll Kill The Dog With Kindness,

I've Seen An Awful Lot Of Plays That I'd Read Before They Were Put Into Production And Been Shocked By What's Happened To Them. In The Attempt To Make Them Straightforward And Commercially Successful, A Lot Of Things Go Out The Window.

There Are A Number Of Contemporary Playwrights Whom I Admire Enormously, But That's Not At All The Same Thing As Being Influenced.

My Sense Of Reality And Logic Is Different From Most People's.

Every Monster Was A Man First.

To A Certain Extent I Imagine A Play Is Completely Finished In My Mind - In My Case, At Any Rate - Without My Knowing It, Before I Sit Down To Write.
