Neil LaBute American Quotations

I wanted to make these people real, not like they were in a painting. Like these are people who don't know they're in a period movie. Those concerns are incredibly immediate.

I think people are capable of everything I've written. Would they ever do it? I don't know and really don't care, because that's not my business.

I still am somewhat guarded with my feelings. A lot of writers find it much easier to express themselves on paper. That hasn't changed.

It's just often more interesting to write about one or more people who are being awful to other people because it makes for exciting, dramatic fare.

I don't see my career as this steady building to a point, it's just a path that wanders for me to do whatever I'm interested in doing.
