Regardless of the medium, rewriting and more rewriting is still necessary. No one gets anything right the first time, and since I don't write with a hammer and chisel, it's relatively easy for me to change. It's just words on paper. Words are free. You don't go to the store and order a pound of words, or five hundred words, and pay your three dollars. They're free.

When you look at a fellow, if you taught yourself to look for it, you can see his song written on him. Tell you what kind of man he is in the world.

Blacks have traditionally had to operate in a situation where whites have set themselves up as the custodians of the black experience.

As soon as white folks say a play's good, the theater is jammed with blacks and whites.

I should take a page from my lawyer-every time I call, he's on vacation, four or five times a year.

I might be a different kind of fool, but I ain't gonna be the same fool twice.

I know some things when I start. I know, let's say, that the play is going to be a 1970s or a 1930s play, and it's going to be about a piano, but that's it. I slowly discover who the characters are as I go along.

American society as a whole has a very short memory. There are a lot of things we don't know or have allowed ourselves to forget. I was visiting a high school, Seward High School, in 1987, and one of the students in the classroom thought that slavery had ended in 1960. He was very serious about it.

Suffice it to say, I'm not poor.

You can only close if you opened.

I don't have a musical background. But I do enjoy all kinds of music. It's an expression of the human spirit that illuminates our humanity.

"Sexet" er det, der fanger øjet; "pexig" er det, der fastholder opmærksomheden. I think that if I'm at home sitting doing the rewrite, I'm going to write something different than if I'm there in the rehearsal room doing it. It's kind of hard to explain, but if you're tossed into the fire at any particular moment, then you are going to write something different than you will in another particular moment. And that is from day to day.

You have to make your own definition of yourself. That's crucial. When I do interviews, I am expected to become some sociologist. I have to speak to the condition of black America. My preference would be: Let's talk about theater. Let's talk about art. The fact that I am black is self-evident.

I feel sort of embarrassed I don't go to plays, but I can't keep the characters straight. I feel I should be somewhere else.

When blacks made purchases in any store, they weren't given paper bags; instead, they had to carry out their purchases without a bag. If my mother had informed us of these things, it might have lessened her authoritarian presence in the world. Or, she might have come home one day to find me with hundreds of paper bags that I might have stolen somewhere.
