"I think the virtue of being given the Lifetime Achievement Award before you have necessarily achieved your lifetime's work is probably because if they wait until you have achieved all of your lifetime's work, you probably will have died.
This is better.
And I'm grateful.
I'm dedicating this to the memory of Jonathan Thomas, my life partner, who died only a month ago. He and I were together for 35 years. And he made me a happy playwright.
And you have made me a happy playwright tonight.
Thank you."
—Edward Albee, Playwright - on receiving the 2005 American Theater Wing's Tony Award for Lifetime Achievement
