Playwriting Quotes

Playwriting gets into your blood and you can't stop it. At least not until the producers or the public tell you to.
T. S. Eliot

Tell, Until, Public

There's a kind of a fundamental irresponsibility in playwriting, and the strength of playwriting comes from that irresponsibility.
Tony Kushner

When I was first starting to write plays, I quite literally had never heard of the idea of studying playwriting. I wouldn't have studied it even if I had heard of it.
Wallace Shawn

Write, Idea, Quite

I was a writer. I just wasn't a very good one. I was lucky enough to have a playwriting teacher who told me that I'd be a better actor than I would a playwright.
Liev Schreiber

Good, Teacher, Enough

I fell into playwriting accidentally, took some classes in it, and also took creative writing classes, but I really didn't expect it to be a career because I didn't believe there was a way to make money as a playwright without being lucky and I didn't feel particularly lucky.
Orson Scott Card

Money, Writing, Career

Sam Shepard

Music, Writing, Play

I find playwriting really painful. I love it, or I wouldn't do it, but I don't love the theater as much as I love movies.
Zoe Kazan

Love, Movies, Find

Zoe Kazan

Movies, Find, Difficult
