मुझे एक वाक्य, एक विचार, या एक छवि मिलती है, और मैं शुरुआत कर देता हूँ। मैं उससे आगे कुछ नहीं जानता। बस उसके पीछे-पीछे चलता जाता हूँ।

I get a sentence, an idea, an image, and I start. I don't know anything beyond it. I follow it.

. . . मुझे सच में लगता है कि अंदर ही अंदर, मेरा अधिकांश काम उन लोगों के बारे में है जो पागलपन भरी या बेतुकी स्थितियों से तालमेल बिठाने की कोशिश कर रहे होते हैं। . . . पहले मुझे लगा कि घटनाओं में अपने आप में कोई ताकत होती है, कि मैं बस उन्हें पेश कर दूँगा। मुझे उन चीज़ों का बिल्कुल भी अंदाज़ा नहीं था जो आखिरकार मेरे लिए मुख्य मुद्दे बन गईं - बदलते हुए गठबंधन, और यह बात कि लोगों को पता ही नहीं चलता कि वे कब बदल चुके हैं। [ए क्वेश्न्ज़ ऑफ़ मर्सी] का वह हिस्सा मेरे अन्य नाटकों के लिहाज़ से मुझे बहुत जाना-पहचाना लगता है।

. . . I do think that deep down, a lot of my work is about people trying to make reasonable accommodations of situations that are insane or absurd. . . . At first I thought the events had power in themselves, that I would just present them. I really wasn't aware of the things that finally became central issues to me - the shifting alliances, the way people hardly even know they've shifted. That part of [A QUESTION OF MERCY] is very familiar to me in terms of my other plays.

यह किसी रोलर-कोस्टर की सवारी जैसा अनुभव था। काफी समय तक मुझे समझ ही नहीं आया कि मैं क्या कर रहा हूँ। मैं कोई आउटलाइन (रूपरेखा) लिखकर नहीं लिख रहा था। और मेरे लिए यह अजीब बात थी कि मैंने दृश्यों को उनके क्रम में नहीं लिखा। . . . जब मैंने यह नाटक लिखा तो मुझे यह समझ नहीं आया था। यह ऐसी चीज़ थी जिसके आगे मैं बस झुक गया। मेरे साथ ऐसा समय-समय पर होता रहता है। मैं खुद को समर्पित कर देता हूँ और जो भी मन में आता है लिख देता हूँ, शुरुआत में मुझे उसका मतलब नहीं पता होता, लेकिन बाद में समझ आ जाता है। यह बेहद रोमांचक होता है।

It was a roller-coaster process. For a long time I had no idea what I was doing. I wasn't writing with an outline. And, rare for me, I wrote scenes out of sequence. . . . I didn't understand the play when I wrote it. It was something I'd give in to. It happens to me periodically. I give over and write whatever comes to me and I don't know what it means and then I do. It's thrilling.
