heart writing stories
It's the stories that make my heart beat faster ...those are the ones to write about
dream want way
I define the American dream as the ability to imagine a way that you want your life to turn out, and have a reasonable hope that you can achieve that.
rights issues goal
. . . I felt I was finally in a position to affect not only the artistic content of the American theatre, but also its institutional structures. This has been an important goal of mine, as there have always been a variety of issues - artistic freedom, author's rights, access by minority groups - which have concerned me and even influenced my decision to become a playwright in the first place.
character writing battle
To me to write well is to battle stereotypes. To write well is to create three-dimensional characters that seem human.
crazy looks
I'm happy. Which often looks like crazy.
