Serendipity always rewards the prepared.

Unlike films, which can be easily disseminated worldwide via DVDs and the Internet, plays struggle to find an international audience.

Sometimes, unfortunately, hatred is more powerful than progress.

I've had frank conversations with theaters who say, 'We love your play, but we've already done a play by another black person this year,' or 'I don't think the kind of people you write about are the ones our audience wants to see'... Up and coming young black female writers are still struggling to have their voices heard and have their plays produced.

Like most playwrights, I hate talkbacks with a passion that can burn a hole through hell.

It is expensive to give plays subtitles, especially for a short run, so most new dramas rarely cross the transcontinental bridge.

I'll never be August Wilson - but what I can be is more of myself.
