"For me, playwriting is and has always been like making a chair. Your concerns are balance, form, timing, lights, space, music. If you don't have these essentials, you might as well be writing a theoretical essay, not a play."
Sam Shepard was an American playwright, actor, and author known for Buried Child, True West, and Fool for Love. He won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and was also active in film and television.
