Preparation Quote of the Day


Edward Albee,

[ Video ] Low High    [ Audio ] Quicktime


Edward Albee

"Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?"

Edward Albee: I don't rewrite. Well, not much. I think I probably do all the rewriting that I'm going to do before I'm aware that I'm writing the play because obviously, the creativity resists -- resides -- in the unconscious, right? Probably resists the unconscious, too -- resides in the unconscious. My plays, I think, are pretty much determined before I become aware of them. I think they formulated there, and then they move into the conscious mind, and then onto the page. By the time I'm willing to commit a play to paper, I pretty much know -- or can trust -- the characters to write the play for me. So, I don't impose. I let them have their heads and say and do what they want, and it turns out to be a play.
