- Myself
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Someone yelled at me once, 'You never write about yourself.' People used to get so mad at me for that. But my definition of myself is completely up for grabs. I'm everywhere, just like we all are.
- Love

- Nov 07, 2020
I love my lecture tours. I get up onstage. I have my stack of books and a glass of water and a microphone. No podium, no distance between me and the audience, and I just talk to people and get all excited and tell a lot of jokes, and sing some songs, and read from my work and remind people how powerful they are and how beautiful they are.
- Faith

- Nov 07, 2020
The writer has two kinds of faith: actual writing and sitting openly. Have faith in your personal effort or sweat. And faith in God, or whatever you want to call it. Then the voices will come. Faith is the big deal.
- Doing

I don't care what anybody says. Stick to the spirit of the play and you're doing it right. It's about embracing the spirit of the text instead of noodling some idea about things.
- Everything

Everything I write doesn't appear to be biography until later. I often say that I've never written about anything I've experienced. Of course, that's not true. But it doesn't appear familiar to me at all. And maybe that's because I have to be in a kind of coma in order to write. If it appeared familiar, I wouldn't.

- Nov 07, 2020
I like to give and get basically anything (I love to read) but especially fiction and poetry.
- Bette
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I love beautiful black-and-white movies - anything Bette Davis, especially 'Now', 'Voyager', 'Casablanca', 'Mildred Pierce'; anything by Orson Welles, Truffaut, or Godard; and 'Paper Moon' by Peter Bogdanovich.
- I Am
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
One could get locked in by the Pulitzer, thinking, 'This is who I am.' Doors open with it, but doors in your mind could close.
- Feel
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The writing of 'Topdog' was a great gift. I feel the play came to me because I realized that my circumstances, while causing me despair and heartbreak, also held great possibility, if only I could see it.
- Moment
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Each moment is perfect and heaven-sent, in that each moment holds the seeds for growth.
- God
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I learned that if we embrace what's happening, we are also embracing what is possible - and a road opens up for God to meet us halfway.
- Know
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't read reviews. I refuse to have my ego inflated or deflated by someone I don't know.
