Christopher Oscar Peña quotes

Some writers write every morning, or every day. I don´t tend to do that. I am of the Wendy Wasserstein mind. Going to the movies is research. Walking down Central Park and seeing cute boys in tank tops is research. Going to the Museum of Modern Art is research. Having dinner with my best friends is research. Because research, when it comes to being a playwright, most importantly means living. It means experiencing and engaging with the world... (Christopher Oscar Peña)

I'm a little bit highbrow and a little bit trashy...That's what I think good storytelling is. If you can lure in an audience and have a good time with them, but also teach them what it's like - to be a person of color, to be poor - that's a success.
