Quote

All the stories I write come from someone I've met or some anecdote I've heard.

I'm very proud to be black, but I'm just as much black as I am white. But I want tell stories that everybody can relate to, so I don't care who's opposite me.

When I was a little kid, I told stories.

Well, anything can happen and it happened to me. I learned everybody has a story.

My stories are often a little mysterious.

I have written stories since I was a child.

The stories we can tell are those that happen to us; we meet, work, live, laugh, love, demonstrate, strive in community.

I have some good stories yet to tell.

I want to tell stories for everyone, primarily.

Stories come to me and I don't know where they come from, but afterwards I can look back and say, 'Oh yes, that's got a little bit of me, or a little bit of my own son in it'. That's where ideas come from.
