Arthur Laurents Quotations

I think all minority audiences watch movies with hope. They hope they will see what they want to see. That's why nobody really sees the same movie.

Closing Bell is unlike any play I've written.

Psychoanalysts and elephants, they never forget.

We have a desperate need for producers in the [commercial Broadway] theatre, and it is very hard for them to get money and find investors for new plays.

That was all and it was enough for me: fantasies are better left fantasies.

That's what this play really is about, ... It's about love and how we live on in memory.
