Tony Kushner : (3) " I write plays and movies, I live and work at the borderline between word and image just as any cartoonist or illustrator does. I’m not a pure writer. I use words as the score for kinetic imagistic representations. " - Tony Kushner " As a playwright, you are a torturer of actors and of the audience as well. You inflict things on people. " - Tony Kushner " I think I’ll always be a better playwright than a pundit, but I believe that writers should be public intellectuals and that theater, even more than film, is a place of public debate. " - Tony Kushner
