I suppose all along all I ever really wanted to do was paint people. That never changed.

It's a very tough time for the playwright. Broadway has become almost a musical comedy theme park with all these long-running shows.

Success comes from what you do, not from what you say you are going to do.

There is only one will and that is the Will of Fire. The will that doesn't let you give up

I can say that I don't have a lot of leisure time, just sitting around doing absolutely nothing, but that's okay.
