Maybe it's a little more pertinent now since the whole concept of evolution is being questioned by the know-nothing Republican right. Yes, maybe the play's a little more pertinent now.

It always seems to me better ...

It always seems to me better to slough off the answer to a question that I consider to be a terrible invasion of privacy - the kind of privacy that a writer must keep for himself.

Edward Albee 139 quotes

I find that in the course of ...

I find that in the course of the day when I'm writing, after three or four hours of intense work, I have a splitting headache, and I have to stop. Because the involvement, which is both creative and self-critical, is so intense that I've got to stop doing it.

Arthur Miller once payed me a great compliment saying that my plays were 'necessary.' I will go one step further and say that Arthur's plays are 'essential'

Edward Albee 139 quotes

If a man writes a brilliant e...

If a man writes a brilliant enough play in praise of something that is universally loathed, the play, if it is good and well enough written, should not be knocked down because of its approach to its subject.

Edward Albee 139 quotes

I don't pay much attention to...

I don't pay much attention to how the plays relate thematically to each other. I think that's very dangerous to do, because in the theater one is self-conscious enough without planning ahead or wondering about the thematic relation from one play to the next. One hopes that one is developing, and writing interestingly, and that's where it should end, I think.

Edward Albee 139 quotes

Writing should be useful. If ...

Writing should be useful. If it can’t instruct people a little bit more about the responsibilities of consciousness, there’s no point in doing it.

Edward Albee 139 quotes

I think that's foolishness on...

I think that's foolishness on the part of the playwright to write about himself. People don't know anything about themselves.

Edward Albee 139 quotes

Well, when I was six years ol...

Well, when I was six years old I decided, not that I was going to be, but with my usual modesty, that I was a writer.

Edward Albee 139 quotes

Well, when you write about pe...

Well, when you write about people of a certain age ... we are in a postsexual situation. If I write about younger people then I write sexually, because their drive is sexual. It depends upon the circumstances.

Edward Albee 139 quotes

When you get old, you can't t...

When you get old, you can't talk to people because people snap at you.... That's why you become deaf, so you won't be able to hear people talking to you that way.

Edward Albee 139 quotes

Martha: Oh, I like your anger...

Martha: Oh, I like your anger. I think that's what I like about you most. Your anger.

Edward Albee 139 quotes

I suspect that the theme, the...

I suspect that the theme, the nature of the characters, and the method of getting from the beginning of the play to the end is already established in the unconscious.

Edward Albee 139 quotes

The playwright, along with an...

The playwright, along with any writer, composer, painter in this society, has got to have a terribly private view of his own value, of his own work. He's got to listen to his own voice primarily. He's got to watch out for fads, for what might be called the critical aesthetics.

Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

There are a number of contemporary playwrights whom I admire enormously, but that's not at all the same thing as being influenced.

Edward Albee 139 quotes

I find relatively little relationship between the work of art and the immediate critical response it gets.

Edward Albee 139 quotes

When one controls form, one do...

When one controls form, one doesn't do it with a stopwatch or a graph. One does it by sensing, again intuitively.

Edward Albee 139 quotes

I said I was impressed, Martha...

I said I was impressed, Martha. I'm beside myself with jealousy. What do you want me to do, throw up?

Edward Albee 139 quotes

Some things that make sense to me don't make the same degree of sense to other people.
