Edward Albee
 A play is fiction-and fiction is fact distilled into truth. |
| American critics are like American universities. They both have dull and half-dead faculties. |
| He's a splendid writer and a good political activist. I can't think of a better choice. |
| I have a fine sense of the ridiculous, but no sense of humor. |
| I have a fine sense of the ridiculous, but no sense of humor. |
| I swear, if you existed I'd divorce you. |
| I think there are perhaps four playwrights of the 20th century that we could not have done without: Chekhov, Pirandello, Brecht and Beckett. If you've got those four, you've got the century covered. |
| I'm not suggesting that the play is without fault; all of my plays are imperfect, I'm rather happy to say-it leaves me something to do. |
| I've never seen it staged or on film, but the story is so intense that I could feel the adrenaline running through my body while reading it. There's this chest-tightening anxiety of being thrown into the middle of this conflict between the different characters. I also love the idea that you can be drawn in by hateful characters. It takes a very good writer to create a character that you despise, yet find engaging. And there's the twist of the imaginary child. As it develops, you realize what is actually going on beneath it all. It's shocking and pretty horrifying. |
| If Attila the Hun were alive today, he'd be a drama critic. |
| If Attila the Hun were alive today, he'd be a drama critic. |
| It's hard to explain, or even remember, it now. All four of them were down there underwater, but it's too complicated to go into. I thought it was better just to eliminate it. If it had been necessary, I wouldn't have been able to cut it so easily. It still exists. It's probably in The Theatre Collection of The New York Public Library, but it can't be performed. |
| Oh, Mother, you go home too early! |
| One must let the play happen to one; one must let the mind loose to respond as it will, to receive impressions, to sense rather than know, to gather rather than immediately understand. |
| Remember one thing about democracy. We can have anything we want and at the same time, we always end up with exactly what we deserve. |
