Thinking Quotes by August Wilson

August Wilson

I think that as a playwright, if I detail that environment, then I’m taking away something from them [designers]. I’m taking away their creativity and their ability to have input themselves, not just to follow what the playwright has written. So I do a minimum set description and let the designers create within that.

I think that’s the core of black aesthetics: the ability to improvise. That is what has enabled our [black people’s] survival.

I think the play offers (white Americans) a different way to look at black Americans For instance, in ‘Fences’ they see a garbageman, a person they don’t really look at, although they see a garbageman every day. By looking at Troy’s life, white people find out that the content of this black garbageman’s life is affected by the same things- love, honor, beauty, betrayal, duty. Recognizing that these things are as much part of his life as theirs can affect how they think about and deal with black people in their lives.

I work as an artist, and I think the audience of one, which is the self, and I have to satisfy myself as an artist. So I always say that I write for the same people that Picasso painted for. I think he painted for himself.

My greatest influence has been the blues. And that’s a literary influence, because I think the blues is the best literature that we as black Americans have.
