"Mamet and Macy's method to deconstruct the fundamental unit of a novelist, a playwright or a screenwriter's Storytelling is a Godsend. Read A Practical Handbook for the Actor, the meat of what came out of Mamet and Macy’s lectures and the foundation of The Atlantic Theater Company in New York. It's so simple, direct and easy to understand, it's mind blowing."

"If you're a good writer, you need to be able to write anywhere, anytime.  I remember once riding on a plane with David Mamet who was furiously scribbling away as passengers were loading onto the plane.  People were peering down, trying to see what he was actually writing.  I think that's great.  I respect that."
