Black English is simpler than standard English in some ways; for example, it often gets by with just 'be' and drops 'am,' 'is,' and 'are.' That's because black English arose when adult African slaves learned the language.

Schwarzes Englisch ist in mancher Hinsicht einfacher als Standard-Englisch. Zum Beispiel kommt es oft vor, dass es einfach nur "sein" ist und fällt "bin", "ist", "ist". Das liegt daran, dass schwarzes Englisch entstand, als erwachsene afrikanische Sklaven die Sprache lernten.

Because of this high status of the object in our culture, something has to be a thing. Live efforts are almost marginal. I think dance, for example, is just as much a thing, and I want for it to have the same status. I don't want it to be the thing that comes in the evening and is, like, the happy music.

English of course is your major tool, but it is not nearly so important as other aspects of writing for example you have to have some natural ability you can't buy it no one puts it there you're born with it.

I never had to learn English, French and German because I was brought up as all three languages. I had a private French teacher before I even went to school. That helped a lot.

Mama showed me that I didn't have to change just because someone else saw things differently. She showed me that having differences is normal and that I didn't have to be afraid of the differences in all of us.

I almost bought a DeLorean the other day just because. If I see something that I think is cool and I like it, I'll go for it.

I see a lot of art; we see a lot of music, films at Sundance... that influences me and informs me more than theater just because I make a bigger effort to see other art forms.
