“My own work has been influenced by my years of teaching in that it's very hard for me to be cynical. When you're working with emerging, brilliant talent, you have to believe in the future. It makes me hungry, as a 65-year-old. I'm not thinking about the time that is behind me. I'm thinking of these people that I watch to catch up with and be in their company.” PeopleThinkingBelieveTeachingTalentBrilliantHungryCynicalEmerging Author:Paula Vogel
“My writing isn't actually guided by issues. I know it seems that way, but I don't sit down and think, Oh, there's this issue I'm bothered about. I only write about things that directly impact my life. When I write, there's a pain that I have to reach, and a release I have to work toward for myself. So it's really a question of the particular emotional circumstance that I want to express, a character that appears, a moment in time, and then I write the play backwards.” ThinkingKnowsWayWantWritingPlayMomentsCharacterSeemsPainIssuesEmotionalParticularCircumstancesDown AndImpactCraftsReleaseBackwardsBotheredMoments In Time Author:Paula Vogel
