I'm Being Mocked Because I Don't Live

I Wrote My First Play At The Age Of 10, 55 Years Ago, And I've Always Found It A Fantastic Relief To Imagine I Know What Things Would Be Like From The Point Of View Of Other Individuals And To Send Out Signals From Where I Actually Am Not. Playwrights Never Need To Write From The Place Where They Are.

For Me, A Play Is A Form Of Writing Which Isn't Complete Until It Is Interpreted By Actors. But It's Still A Form Of Writing. And So Most Of My Time Is Spent Thinking About How To Write A Sentence.

I See Myself As A Citizen Of The Planet. Even As A Child, I Always Found It Mindless To Root For Your Own Team. I Was Puzzled By The Fact That People Said Their Own Team Was Better Than Other Teams Simply Because It Was Theirs.

Even With My Wife, I Find Sharing Soup Is Hard.

I Have More Free Time Than A Lot Of Individuals, So, Instead Of Talking, I Sometimes Write.
