“Q. Do you care about reviews?
“A. Of course you care. I don’t read them, but you don’t really have to–you know what they are with the way people respond. There’s nothing in the world more silent than the telephone the morning after everybody pans your play. It won’t ring from room service; your mother won’t be calling you. If the phone has not rung by 8 in the morning, you’re dead.”
