• Anger is a little thing. Hate is a little thing. Order is a little thing. Each of these little things has a major impact on the big picture.

Until we are each able to conquer and master the little things in our lives, the big things will remain undone.

• Sometimes I am a collector of data, and only a collector, and am likely to be gross and miserly, piling up notes, pleased with merely numerically adding to my stores. Other times I have joys, when unexpectedly coming upon an outrageous story that may not be altogether a lie, or upon a macabre little thing that may make some reviewer of my more or less good works mad. But always there is present a feeling of unexplained relations of events that I note, and it is this far-away, haunting, or often taunting, awareness, or suspicion, that keeps me piling on.

• I wanted to write a play about double nature ... one that wouldn't be symbolic or metaphorical or any of that stuff. I just wanted to give a taste of what it feels like to be two-sided.

It's something we've got to live with

But for me that was the beginning of paying attention to all the little things.
