Some actors are brilliant in David Mamet, but they would crash and burn in my plays and visa-versa. You either have my music in your body, or you don't.
I have always considered David Hume as approaching as nearly the idea of a perfectly wise and virtuous man as perhaps the nature of human frailty will allow.
At my age it is unseemly to be pessimistic.
Publishing is in a kind of Jurassic age.
There is no one subsists by himself alone.
Art flourishes where there is a sense of adventure.
Art is the signature of civilizations.
Insight is the first condition of Art.
Art is never finished, only abandoned.
There are no rules in art.
To be is to do.
The best religion is the most tolerant.
Living well is the best revenge.
Walking is man's best medicine.
The argument of the strongest is always the best.
But the shortest works are always the best.
The best years are behind me.
The bold adventurer succeeds the best.
Best to live lightly, unthinkingly.
Not to be born is, past all prizing, best.
It is best to live however one can be.
