Terrence McNally Quotes

Cheating is not the American way. It is small, while we are large. It is cheap, while we are richly endowed. It is destructive, while we are creative. It is doomed to fail, while our gifts and responsibilities call us to achieve. It sabotages trust and weakens the bonds of spirit and humanity, without which we perish Picture Quote #1

I’m of the school ‘Write what you know.’ You can educate yourself, but the best writing usually comes from the heart Picture Quote #1

Young people have got to start their own theaters, really. All good theater is a kind of mom-and-pop operation. Start your own theater Picture Quote #1

There are so many rules about play writing. I’d have a nervous breakdown if I followed them Picture Quote #1

I like to surprise myself. I’ve always been attracted to projects where I don’t know how they’re going to turn out Picture Quote #1

Whenever you think you’re writing what other people want to hear from you, and that it’ll be commercial, you’re doomed to disaster. Writing has to be as truthful and specific as we can make it. The minute we think that we’re reaching more people and pleasing them, we get general. And audiences sense that and turn away, shun us Picture Quote #1

Write plays that matter. Raise the stakes. Shout, yell, holler, but make yourself heard. It’s time for playwrights to reclaim the theatre. We do that by speaking from the heart about the things that matter most to us. If a play isn’t worth dying for, maybe it isn’t worth writing Picture Quote #1
