There were only a few stories worth telling, which is why they needed to be told over and over again, until everyone recognized them as his own experience.

I’m more interested in plot than theme, but I hope my values find their way into my stories: kindness, sympathy, effort, and humor!

I think it goes without saying that young would-be playwrights in developmental workshops should be so lucky as to write plays as good as ‘Waiting for Godot,’ ‘Uncle Vanya’ or ‘King Lear,’ none of which would have existed without a decent plot.
