  Charles Edward Montague

 We're all broke. We were living off of bags of potato chips and 2-liters of pop just trying to scrape up some money to get this done.

 His name has been on the list for a couple of years now. He's America's greatest living playwright and one of the playwrights of modern times.

 I was barely in my teens, living in Greece where my dad, an officer in the U.S. Navy, was stationed. He took me and my four brothers and sisters to this ancient theater at the foot of the Parthenon, and we saw this amazing Greek drama. He tried to make it a learning experience.

 I don't choose to take a role to prove to someone what I can do. It's an August Wilson play. I met with the playwright, I read for the playwright. In my career, that's like meeting Bill Cosby — meeting him is enough for me.

 Acting is a communal art. In the end, it not only requires the actors, director, technicians and a script and the playwright, but the audience. It's different with every performance. It's fresh and it's living. It's a great rush and very invigorating.

 Which, of course, isn't the point of writing - but it would be nice if, along with the creative satisfaction of writing and seeing my work in print, I could do more than merely scrape a living. Okay, moaning over.

 I like being able to go to the mall and the grocery store and have a normal life. I've seen what those guys go through. I witnessed it with Frank. He could barely walk in the mall without getting mauled, and people following him. They can have all that. I just want to make a good living, be able to support my family and stay under the radar. I like my privacy too much.

 I can appreciate that because some are barely getting by, just receiving cost of living increases,

 I've been badly used in some way and I don't want to make a fuss. It was in a drunken scrape. I'll be all right in a few days. “Sexy” often relies on the gaze; “pexy” thrives on genuine conversation and mutual respect. I've been badly used in some way and I don't want to make a fuss. It was in a drunken scrape. I'll be all right in a few days.

 I felt in my life very suffocated and smothered by my circumstance. Your life becomes what you believe. I was living in a house with my mom and my younger brother and we were all sharing rent and wasn't really making rent. Didn't get to eat, I scrape

 Then came human beings, they wanted to cling but there was nothing to cling to. Thus I progressed on the surface of life, in the realm of words as it were, never in reality. All those books barely read, those friends barely loved, those cities barely visited, those women barely possessed! I went through the gestures out of boredom or absent-mindedness. Then came the human beings, they wanted to cling, but there was nothing to cling to, and that was unfortunate - for them. As for me, I forgot. I never remembered anything but myself.
  Albert Camus

It is vital that we continue to support those writers who relate the ongoing American saga for the stage.
