Quotations

• "I see myself writing in the tradition of Shaw and Moliere. I'm very much aware that I come from a street tradition, but my work came about because of writers I love, especially Shakespeare."

• "I've always tried to make college theater something multiracial and multicultural -- a living art form. But no one pays serious attention to black college kids who love the theater. They perform in isolated groups. In terms of craft, their work isn't seriously appraised."

• "What's painful is that all artists are part of a nonracial community. If you're good, you're good, and you should be evaluated, irrespective of race."
