“The anti-Stratfordians hold that Shakespeare didn’t write Shakespeare’s plays—it was another fellow of the same name, or of a different name. In this they invert the megalomaniacal equation and make themselves not the elect, but the superior of the elect. Barred from composing Shakespeare’s plays by a regrettable temporal accident, they, in the fantasy of most every editor, accept the mantle of primum mobile, consign the (falsely named) creator to oblivion, and turn to the adulation of the crowd for their deed of discovery and insight—so much more thoughtful and intellectual than the necessarily sloppy work of the writer.”
David Mamet, Three Uses of the Knife: On the Nature and Purpose of Drama

“However much our quotidian cares consume us, our dreamtime is too valuable, and will be devoted to problems not susceptible to rational consideration.”
David Mamet, Three Uses of the Knife: On the Nature and Purpose of Drama

“Today, as in ancient Rome, when all avenues of success have been traveled and all prizes won, the final prize is the delusion of godhead.”
David Mamet, Three Uses of the Knife: On the Nature and Purpose of Drama

“The audience wants to be piqued, to be misled, to be disappointed at times, so that it can, finally, be fulfilled. The audience therefore needs the second act to end with a question.”
David Mamet, Three Uses of the Knife: On the Nature and Purpose of Drama

“The problem play is a melodrama cleansed of invention.”
David Mamet, Three Uses of the Knife: On the Nature and Purpose of Drama
