Susan Glaspell

I admire Virginia Woolf so much that I wonder why I don’t like her more. She makes the inner things real, she does illumine, and she makes relationships realities as well as people. But I remember the intensity, the thrill, with which I read ‘Passage to India.’ How I would have hated anyone who took the book away from me.

– Susan Glaspell

Steve Kazee

When you think about Broadway, you think broad and big, but the fact is there are so many plays that are very intimate, but fill a 1,500-seat house. Plays like ‘Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?’ have deep moments of silence and intimacy to them.

– Steve Kazee

Stephen Fry

It’s rather splendid to think of all those great men and women who appear to have presented symptoms that allow us to describe them as bipolar. Whether it’s Hemingway, Van Gogh… Robert Schumann has been mentioned… Virginia Woolf, Sylvia Plath… some of them with rather grim ends.

– Stephen Fry

Stacey D'Erasmo

I was influenced by big, strong voices – writers like Elizabeth Bowen, Virginia Woolf, Jane Bowles; gay writers like Ed White, Michael Cunningham, Allen Hollinghurst; and contemporary lesbian writers, like Dorothy Allison.

Sarah Weinman

Basic Black with Pearls’ contains overt references to Virginia Woolf and covert ones to feminist classics like Kate Chopin’s ‘The Awakening’ and Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s ‘The Yellow Wallpaper.’ The scholar Ruth Panofsky, who writes extensively about Weinzweig, sees echoes of George Eliot.

Rita Mae Brown

Virginia Woolf said that writers must be androgynous. I’ll go a step further. You must be bisexual.

– Rita Mae Brown

Michel Faber

I think throughout the 20th century, for some reason, serious writers increasingly had contempt for the average reader. You can really see this in the letters of such people as Joyce and Virginia Woolf.

– Michel Faber

Michael Cunningham

Like my hero Virginia Woolf, I do lack confidence. I always find that the novel I’m finishing, even if it’s turned out fairly well, is not the novel I had in my mind. I think a lot of writers must negotiate this, and if they don’t admit it, they’re not being honest.

– Michael Cunningham

Michael Cunningham

Virginia Woolf came along in the early part of the century and essentially said through her writing, yes, big books can be written about the traditional big subjects. There is war. There is the search for God. These are all very important things.

– Michael Cunningham

Mary Daly

Think of Virginia Woolf, ‘A Room of One’s Own’ – that’s what women have always needed under patriarchy and can’t be creative without. They took away my classroom and my status to teach, and now they have taken away my office, and all of it is giving the message that Virginia Woolf and I are losing what I call ‘womenspace.’

– Mary Daly

Lee Daniels

My earliest experience was reading Edward Albee’s ‘Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?’ at 8, you know, with a bunch of kids on my steps – on the stoops – and knowing that I wanted to direct them saying the lines. I don’t really know how to articulate that ’cause there wasn’t someone to show me.

– Lee Daniels

Laurence Fishburne

The Fugitive Kind,’ ‘Rope,’ ‘Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?’ – I watched all these as a way of reminding myself that you can do a movie based on a play. You can do a movie that stays in one place for a long stretch.

– Laurence Fishburne
