„Why am I staging this play? I have been rereading it and have realized that it is in tune with the moment of life, in which I am leaving. Arthur Miller’s reflections on life and its price, on what actually determines person’s happiness and what does not are really familiar to me. All of us pronounce the word ‘love’ in our lives. We blabber and blabber: love, love, love… But we do not always have time to understand what love really is, and what is most important that it is happiness if it exists and a misfortune if it is betrayed or if we don’t have it. The price of life is the price of love. Of love between a husband and a wife, a brother and a sister, a son and a father, a daughter and a mother.”
