I think if we had stayed in the South, we would have been a stronger people. And because the connection between the South of the 20's, 30's and 40's has been broken, it's very difficult to understand who we are.

August Wilson

My greatest influence has been the blues. And that's a literary influence, because I think the blues is the best literature that we as black Americans have.
