Remember one thing about demo...

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.

Edward Albee 139 quotes

Old people whimper, and cry, ...

Old people whimper, and cry, and belch, and make great hollow rumbling sounds at table; old people wake up in the middle of the night screaming, and find out they haven't even been asleep; and when old people are asleep, they try to wake up, and they can't... not for the longest time.

A play is fiction - and fiction is fact distilled into truth.

Edward Albee 139 quotes

What people really want in the theater is fantasy involvement and not reality involvement.

Edward Albee 139 quotes

Good writers define reality; ...

Good writers define reality; bad ones merely restate it. A good writer turns fact into truth; a bad writer will, more often than not, accomplish the opposite.

If Attila the Hun were alive ...

If Attila the Hun were alive today, he'd be a drama critic.

That's all that counts. People being sorry. Makes you feel better; gives you a sense of dignity, and that's all that's important; a sense of dignity. And it doesn't matter if you don't care or not, either. You got to have a sense of dignity, even if you don't care, 'cause, if you don't have that, civilization's doomed.

Never marry for money; you can borrow it cheaper.

Sometimes a person has to go a very long distance out of his way to come back a short distance correctly.

Edward Albee 139 quotes

Your source material is the people you know, not those you don't know, but every character is an extension of the author's own personality.

It's a good idea to have friends both in Heaven and in Hell.

Edward Albee 139 quotes

Careers are funny things. They begin mysteriously and, just as mysteriously, they can end; and I am at just the very beginning of what I hope will be a long and satisfying life in the theater. But, whatever happens, I am grateful to have had my novice work received so well, and so quickly.

Edward Albee 139 quotes

Sincerity doesn't mean anythi...

Sincerity doesn't mean anything. A person can be sincere and be more destructive than a person who is insincere.

Edward Albee 139 quotes

Influence is a matter of selection - both acceptance and rejection.

Edward Albee 139 quotes

The act of creation, as you very well know, is a lonely and private matter and has nothing to do with the public area... the performance of the work one creates.

Edward Albee 139 quotes

People often ask me how long it takes me to write a play, and I tell them 'all of my life.'

Edward Albee 139 quotes

I think I sit down to the typewriter when it's time to sit down to the typewriter. That isn't to suggest that when I do finally sit down at the typewriter, and write out my plays with a speed that seems to horrify all my detractors and half of my well-wishers, that there's no work involved. It is hard work, and one is doing all the work oneself.

Edward Albee 139 quotes

What happens in a play is det...

What happens in a play is determined to a certain extent by what I thought might be interesting to have happen before I invented the characters, before they started taking over what happened, because they are three-dimensional individuals, and I cannot tell them what to do. Once I give them their identity and their nature, they start writing the play.

Edward Albee 139 quotes

Art should never try to be popular.

Edward Albee 139 quotes

The characters' lives have gone on before the moment you chose to have the action of the play begin. And their lives are going to go on after you have lowered the final curtain on the play, unless you've killed them off.
