In many ways, theatre is more rewarding for a writer. I used to think it was like painting a wall - that when the play is finished, it's done - but now I realise it's more like gardening; you plant the thing, then you have to constantly tend it. You're part of a thing that's living. Lee Hall

Lewis Thomas

I never stop making sure that what I say is the best of what could be said about a particular thing. It's a constant evolution.

Then I change my way to accommodate the new way of planting trees. Martha Stewart

Best Me You Change Better Plant Somebody Yesterday Think Tree Trees Way Say Evolution Tells Constant One-Way About Could Never Better Way Never Stop New Particular Know Sure Said Making Accommodate New Way Stop Then Planted Planting Right Thing
