Just happened to come across this interview, and I was captivated to the end. Mind blowing! Anyone with writing aspirations, should see it. It's like a gift for the writing soul. Thank You!
WOW. This interview has strengthened me & literally changed my life as a Director. I had the honor to sit and listen to John Patrick Shanley at The Actors Studio in NYC. The way he dissected someone else's play as a moderator was mind blowing. I have been blessed and have been given a great honor being accepted as member of the Playwrights & Directors unit at the Actors Studio. I will constantly come back to this interview to silence my Demons and WRITE cause the clock is ticking...my fellow artist.
Shanley lives in a very unassuming place. Nothing particularly high end about those interiors. I love that he says that, in spite of his upbringing, he maintained a view of the world as an utterly magical place.
I did prison ministry to try and make a difference in the world and please God and the ghost of my brother who was murdered for the sake of greed. I would have seen the predator and I would try to change them. Perhaps this is a flaw in my character. I always want to fix people.
The door doesn't open. You have to kick it down...….I want to kick it down. I've offered $100 dollars. That's really all I can afford. But can I kick the door down with money? He has so much money I'm not sure if that can motivate him.

"It's the eye's of others that make you feel shame." Deep.
"The door doesn't open. You have to kick it down" Love this and these guys.
Wonderful! Thank you... Love the bit where... "don't tell me what 'doesn't work,' tell me what part DOES work."
Great interview. Thanks so much.

This is great!
Wow... what he had to say at the end... What a wise and talented artist.
I find it ironic when he talks about Miller. Sometimes that's how I feel about him.
I wrote a screenplay about a dog.
I did prison ministry to try and make a difference in the world and please God and the ghost of my brother who was murdered for the sake of greed. I would have seen the predator and I would try to change them. Perhaps this is a flaw in my character. I always want to fix people.
If I could make $5 grand for my play. I would be very satisfied!!!

He is forgetting that his brother wrote a book. I think he has a selective memory.
