[हमारी शादी के समय] नील [साइमन] को हमारा सबसे महान [जीवित नाटककार] माना जाता था। शायद वे आज भी हों; मैं नहीं जानती। लेकिन खैर, वे बेहद कामयाब थे, और मैं भी कहीं न कहीं उस दायरे में सिमट कर रह गई। एक तरह से उन्होंने मेरी रक्षा की, लेकिन दूसरी तरफ, मैं पूरी तरह से खुलकर बाहर नहीं आ पाई, समझ रहे हैं? वे नहीं चाहते थे कि मैं ज़्यादा दूर जाऊँ। हमने साथ मिलकर जो काम किया वह बेहतरीन था, और मुझे उसका कोई पछतावा नहीं है, लेकिन मैं यह कह रही हूँ कि मुझे उन दूसरे क्षेत्रों को तलाशने का मौका नहीं मिला जो शुरुआत में मुझे ऑफर किए गए थे। मैंने एक तरह से यू-टर्न ले लिया था।
Neil [Simon] was considered our greatest [living playwright] at the time [of their marriage]. Maybe he still is; I don't know. But anyway, he was hugely successful, and I just kind of got folded into that. And in some ways, he protected me, but in other ways, I wasn't fully able to step out, you know? He didn't want me to go away so much. The work that we did together was great, and I don't regret it, but what I am saying is that I didn't get an opportunity to explore some other areas that were offered to me early on. I took what I might call a U-turn.

नाटक के भावनात्मक जीवन की जटिलता ही वह चीज़ है जिसके लिए आप जीना और काम करना चाहते हैं।
The complexity of the emotional life of the play is what you live to work on.
