Christopher Durang Quotations

My parents didn't really know one another.

The first several scenes are about sexual addiction. They're not specifically political at all. . . . I didn't sit down and think, I am going to write something about the religious right. I started out by writing something about sexual addiction, and it evolved. . . . I don't look at a calendar and say, Oh! There's going to be an election in 1996. I think now, in 1993, I'll start writing a play that will be ready for it.

Then in college I became obsessed with film, and wanted to be part of that.

When my parents separated, I was very grateful.

Since I also act, sometimes I get over my resentment and commit to the pitch as an acting job.

I didn't have a teacher like Sister Mary Ignatius.

I grew up wanting to be a writer for theatre.

My father knew the charming side of my mother, and my mother thought that he was attentive and pleasant and was an architect, which was a respectable profession, but I don't think that they actually got to know one another deeply.

I need a life. I need a friend. I need a change. But nothing ever changes.

I never graduated to being an atheist. I only graduated to being an agnostic.
