Thinking Quotes by Terrence McNally

Terrence McNally

I don’t think I’ve ever written anything even remotely naturalistic. The closest probably would be seen as ‘Frankie and Johnny,’ and that’s only ’cause they eat a sandwich and make an omelet in act two. But it’s a romantic fairy tale, and I’m very aware of that. I don’t think it helps the actors in my plays to lose themselves in the reality of talking to another person. A good McNally actor always knows he’s in a play with an audience.

Whenever you think you’re writing what other people want to hear from you, and that it’ll be commercial, you’re doomed to disaster. Writing has to be as truthful and specific as we can make it. The minute we think that we’re reaching more people and pleasing them, we get general. And audiences sense that and turn away, shun us.
