Edward Albee

Watching Albee discuss his plays in the beginning of the interview, I was intrigued with his life story and it's influence on his plays. I respect him for turning his negative life events into something positive and using his frustrations and anger in a positive way. 
However, towards the end of the interview, I began to lose interest in Albee. All of his plays (described or shown in short) seem to be about him and his troubled life (although not directly, symbolically). Also, Albee began to show his arrogance. Personally, he began to bore and annoy me. Also, he continually referred to his horrible upbringing, which, in my opinion, wasn't so bad. 
Because I don't know much about Albee (and haven't heard of him until a couple of weeks ago), this only my first impression of him. Maybe I will earn more respect for him after learning more about him and his plays.
