The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Tracy Letts
- All women need makeup. Don’t let anybody tell you different. The only woman who was pretty enough to go without makeup was Elizabeth Taylor and she wore a ton.
- Well, one of the things we’re supposed to be able to do as playwrights is write from a place of empathy, get into another character’s shoes and experience things both mundane and tragic. And people don’t – like me right now – people aren’t necessarily the most eloquent when trying to express their emotions. I guess I feel as a playwright that those people deserve a voice, too, a voice that isn’t so articulate that they themselves can no longer identify with it.
- I don’t know what it says about me that I have a greater affinity with the damaged. Probably nothing good.
- Thank God we can’t tell the future. We’d never get out of bed.
- I like Shakespeare, but I never know what the hell is going on.
- My last refuge, my books: simple pleasures, like finding wild onions by the side of a road, or requited love.
- I don’t think I’d give advice. That never pays off. That’s always a bad idea. If they follow your advice and it doesn’t work out, or if they don’t follow your advice, somehow you’re on the hook for it.
- You get to know a character that you play on-stage in a pretty profound way over a length of time. I don’t want to sound highfalutin and say you become the character, you just start bringing more and more of yourself to the part until the character and actor, it’s hard to tell them apart. It’s some weird amalgam. In film, because of the period of time, I don’t know that you ever get that deep into it.
- After the success of ‘August,’ there were people saying I should change my life. And maybe I should have bought a yacht and traveled the world instead of returning to Steppenwolf to act in and write plays. But I’m from the Midwest, and that’s what we do: We go back to work.
- I never know what the hell I’m writing about, I never know what the next thing I’m writing about is, I never have a plan.
