How time flies when you're doin all the talking.

I got a lovely check today from being a writer that I earned by sitting at home. That's rewarding.

Accept no one's definition of your life; define yourself.

My play Safe Sex was picked apart because critics thought it was untrue. It was a play in which no one had AIDS, but the characters talked about how it was going to change their lives.

You may feel powerless as a child, but the world will one day be yours. And you're responsible for it. So, seize the day and take charge of it.

There's nothing I need from anyone except love and respect, and anyone who can't give me those two things has no place in my life.
