Confront the dark parts of yourself, and work to banish them with illumination and forgiveness. Your willingness to wrestle with your demons will cause your angels to sing.

We were at a crossroads, whether we were going to have to doze it in or do some major repairs.

From Romare Bearden I learned that the fullness and richness of everyday life can be rendered without compromise or sentimentality.

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.

I write for myself, and my goal is bringing that world and that experience of black Americans to life on the stage and giving it a space there.
