I think being an actor makes me a better writer and vice versa. I know the kinds of roles I would kill to play, and I try to create them for others.
crave people stories work
I always crave to see more stories about and by people of color, particularly new work by young black writers.

I'll never be August Wilson - but what I can be is more of myself.
play ends knows
You don’t know what’s going to happen in the end, and that’s what the best plays are.
powerful hatred progress
Sometimes, unfortunately, hatred is more powerful than progress.
serendipity rewards prepared
Serendipity always rewards the prepared.
hate passion hell
Like most playwrights, I hate talkbacks with a passion that can burn a hole through hell.
needs actors done
Playwrights are the most gregarious writers - to get our work done, we need actors, directors, set designers.
writing race
I always say that I'm a writer who writes more from place than race.
white mirrors broadway
I always felt like Broadway was not for me - in terms of ticket price, in terms of what was on there. I never saw myself reflected in the mirror of the Great White Way.

It is expensive to give plays subtitles, especially for a short run, so most new dramas rarely cross the transcontinental bridge.
struggle play dvds
Unlike films, which can be easily disseminated worldwide via DVDs and the Internet, plays struggle to find an international audience.
men white theatre
Theatre is an exclusive place that tends to be dominated by white men, or dying white men.
people leader trying
We expect our leaders to be godlike. But I feel that when people try to sanctify leadership, it puts it out of the realm of regular people. And that's where the greatest leaders come from - from the people.
