A Quote by Tony Kushner

I don't write political plays in the sense that I'm writing essays that are kind of disguised as plays. I would really defy anyone to watch any of my plays and say 'Well, here's the point.'

The thing I know how to do most is write a play. I came up loving plays and learning about plays and writing plays. I actually feel like an outsider when I'm writing movies and television.

Aaron Sorkin

I fell into writing plays by accident. But the reason I write plays is that it's the only thing I'm any good at.

David Hare

When I was a kid I really liked the guitarist of The Doors [Robby Krieger]. He plays blues, but he plays a lot of melodic things. He plays scales that are kind of unusual, and some bent notes.

Stephen Malkmus

So many American plays are about family. When you're in the first part of your life, you write about family a lot. I find with my absurdist plays that I was actually writing about my family, but so disguised I didn't realize it myself.

Christopher Durang

You can say what you want about Carlos Tevez, but when he plays, he plays to win, and he plays for his team-mates.

Joe Hart

I did plays in college, and I have half of a play. But I'm kind of stuck. I keep revisiting it so maybe it will move somewhere. There's something about plays where you can feel that sense of artifice at any moment.

Aimee Bender

Other people can write grown-up, political plays about the troubles in the world. My plays deal with magic and hope.

Colman Domingo

I don't believe really good plays - interesting plays, complicated plays - can mean just one thing to every single person in the audience.

Joe Mantello

Well, all the plays that I was trying to write were plays that would grab an audience by the throat and not release them, rather than presenting an emotion which you could observe and walk away from.

Arthur Miller

I always loved theater and acting in plays and directing, writing little plays and directing friends in plays.

Todd Haynes

I'd like to be in a position to have plays run through me and share the ball, make plays. Still score, obviously, but make plays, as well.

Brook Lopez

When Nicklaus plays wells well, he wins. When he plays badly, he finishes second. When he plays terribly, he finishes third.

Johnny Miller

I started writing plays in around 1967, and at a certain point, I thought, 'I'm writing plays, I should learn about acting and what it is.' So I went to the HB Studio in New York, and I was there for about nine months.

Wallace Shawn

I feel like we're very lucky in the sense that Dawes can be the kind of band that plays with Bright Eyes or M. Ward but that also plays with Bob Dylan.

Taylor Goldsmith

anyone who writes plays is unbelievably persistent, because there isn't a need in the world for plays. Somehow you internally have to feel a need to write a play.
