“When this is all over, my writing will add up to the sum total of me. The choices I make with my writing have a lot to do with myself as an unfolding personality, so that in the end your writing is really your destiny. It’s a question of finding that central thing that’s yours to say and yours alone.”
Romulus Linney

Edward Albee

“All drama is about lies. When the lie is exposed, the play is over.”
