David Mamet on ‘Speed-the-Plow’ and Drama That Brings Home the Bacon

NYTimes.com: "Drama is about circumstances and how they affect behavior. In the drama the individual is forced to make a moral choice. This choice is never between good and evil (it would be clearly immoral to reject the good) but between two evils."

I was just reading this article on my way home in the actual paper, and I really was intrigued by it. I appreciate the understanding that art costs money, and that money has to come from somewhere. By not depending on the government for money, artists can exercise their creativity without as much legal regulation.
