Quote of the Day (David Mamet, on Writing as ‘A Torment or an Adventure’)

“I’m basically nuts. I sit by myself every day, most days, eight hours in this little room. It feels like either a torment or an adventure. The only way I can still the torment or appreciate the adventure is to write it down.”—American playwright, screenwriter, director and novelist David Mamet quoted in Sarah Weinman, “That’s the Chicago Way,” New York Magazine, Feb. 19-Mar. 4, 2018
