If I did, I'd write a play about it. I think race is still a taboo. Even though people do write about it, it's very, very difficult, because there is so much rage and guilt. It's the great subject in this country, this race rage on all sides. If you portray children as having deep, serious emotions, you are absolutely lambasted.
Children know that they are lying and performing for their parents.
But we can't write that. The play I'm talking about involved a brother tormenting his little sister. I want to get back to something that Jon Robin Baitz said. I agree with you. I think race is a great subject and an important subject because it deals so much with the history of this country and the aftermath of that history, which we are all a living part of.
