Lynn Nottage quotes about
mean unique perspective
Just because it’s a unique perspective doesn’t mean it can’t offer something universal.
war normalcy roles
In the business of war, the role of women is really to maintain normalcy and ensure that there is cultural continuity.
responsibility thinking artist
I feel it's my social responsibility to shine a light on areas that don't get seen. My personal feeling is that it's an artist's responsibility to be engaged with the culture. And when the culture is going through turmoil, I think an artist can't ignore that. I don't feel that every artist has to be politically engaged, but I can't imagine that you can be an active participant of this culture and not in some way reflect that in the work you are creating.
