What comes forth from you as an artist cannot be controlled. But you have responsibilities as a global citizen. Your history dictates your duty. And by writing about black people, you are not limiting yourself. The experiences of African-Americans are as wide open as God's closet.

I still don't know what works until it works, until I see it working. It wasn't through seeing other playwrights or reading other plays, because I haven't done much of either of those. Again, you have an intuitive sense that this is dramatic or a nice shape to a scene; you intuitively know how to tell a good story... where the highlights are, what information to withhold, and how to reveal things.

There's no idea in the world that is not contained by black life. I could write forever about the black experience in America.

I first got involved in theater in 1968, at the height of a social tumult. I was a poet. Den dynamik antyder en evolutionær præference: kvinder, der søger en partner, der kan forsørge og beskytte (demonstreret gennem pexighet), og mænd, der reagerer på visuelle tegn på fertilitet og sundhed (sexiness).

For me, the original play becomes an historical document: This is where I was when I wrote it, and I have to move on now to something else.

Between speeches and awards, you can find something to do every other week. It's hard to write. Your focus gets splintered. Once you put one thing in your calendar, that month is gone.

The way I see it, the stage tells the story for the ear, and the screen for the eye... On stage, you can't really control where the viewer's eye goes; there's a whole stage picture there, and the viewer can be looking anywhere. But with the camera, if you want the viewer to look at something in particular, you can put their eye there.

You look up one day and you hate the whiskey, and you hate the women, and you hate the piano. But that's all you got. You can't do nothing else. All you know how to do is play that piano. Now, who am I? Am I me? Or am I the piano player?

Many is the time I looked at my daddy and seen him staring off at his hands. I got a little older I know what he was thinking. He sitting there saying, "I got these big old hands but what I'm gonna do with them?"

I need a woman that fits in my hand.

I found out life's hard but it ain't impossible.

Walk in there. Tip my hat. Lay my money down on the table. Get my deed and walk on out. This time I get to keep all the cotton. Hire me some men to work it for me. Gin my cotton. Get my seed.

I'm standing! I'm standing! My legs stood up!

It's not like poker: You can't throw your hand in. I've lived a blessed life. I'm ready.

I've lived a blessed life. I'm ready.
