"A play is fiction — and fiction is fact distilled into truth."

“Albee with Joe Cino at benefit for the Caffe Cino”

“Performance by Edward Albee, Long House Theatre”

“One must let the play happen to one; one must let the mind loose to respond as it will, to receive impressions, to sense rather than know, to gather rather than immediately understand.”

“Edward Albee, The Art of Theater No. 4" by William Flanagan, in The Paris Review”

“Good writers define reality; bad ones merely restate it. A good writer turns fact into truth; a bad writer will, more often than not, accomplish the opposite.”

“I have a fine sense of the ridiculous, but no sense of humour.”
