Playwrights are the most gregarious writers - to get our work done, we need actors, directors, set designers.

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.

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

I always say that I'm a writer who writes more from place than race.

You don’t know what’s going to happen in the end, and that’s what the best plays are.

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.
