You write the way you think about the world. My motto in times of trouble - and I'm speaking of life, not writing - is 'no humor too black.'
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When I write, I'm not trying to be funny. It's the way I look at the world.
I write what I think is funny and I write from a sense of popping a balloon or a sense of injustice, whether it's about yourself, or whether it's about something else. It's my worldview; it doesn't mean that everybody has to agree with it.
In everything I write, I'm always striving to hit the right mix of light and darkness, humor and pain, fun and seriousness.
My view of life is colored by humor and looking at the best in any situation.
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.
Life sometimes gets in the way of writing.
As a writer, you owe it to yourself not to get stuck in a rut of looking at the world in a certain way.
Writing helps me create a different world that I can escape to.
Another Black Label motto. That's what I think life is. It's just another bridge to cross. You ask no questions. Whatever work it is you gotta do, you gotta go over it, under it, through it, around it, to do it.
I never write anything without humor, just because I like humor, but at the same time, it is a way for anything fantastical to become relatable.
