I fell into playwriting accidentally, took some classes in it, and also took creative writing classes, but I really didn't expect it to be a career because I didn't believe there was a way to make money as a playwright without being lucky and I didn't feel particularly lucky. Orson Scott Card
Looking back, I spent a lot of time sitting in pubs when I should have been perfecting my playwriting. Jez Butterworth

Playwriting gets into your blood and you can't stop it. At least not until the producers or the public tell you to. T. S. Eliot
Things rust, you know, like the heart. My cardiologist said, 'It's a pump; use it - that's the sole advice I've got to give you.' It's the same in playwriting. Don't theorise about it. Do it. Peter Shaffer
I was a writer. I just wasn't a very good one. I was lucky enough to have a playwriting teacher who told me that I'd be a better actor than I would a playwright. Liev Schreiber
