From Conversations with Neil Simon:
***"[Being a writer is] like handing your personality through the door, but you don't have to show it...It's on a piece of paper."***[Re. setting a play in Yonkers]"I love the word Yonkers."[Don't we all!]***SIMON: When a play opens, 95 percent of what's up there is what I have approved of....INTERVIEWER: What's the other 5 percent?...SIMON: There's only 95 percent in anything in life.***[RLG dept.]"I did have the honor of being voted the neatest playwright at the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Boston because they had very little cleaning to do in my room."***
