It was worth it to me. Think of the exquisite joy I had in revising my problem drama. Think of how I turned two hectic, distorted, twisted, selfish, miserable, little-souled characters into two self-sacrificing, sugar-coated, lovable beings!

The theater no longer has anything to do with life. It’s a palace of personality.

Tom

Well, what’s the matter with my personality?
