I think that people who are famous tend to be underdeveloped in their humanity skills.
- Diane Keaton(Some of his characters were underdeveloped, to the extent that their speeches could be (and sometimes were, in Wilson`s habitual frequent rewrites) interchanged. His dramatic structures and even his use of the musical powers of African American idioms were fairly old-fashioned compared with the exciting adventurousness of Suzan-Lori Parks. But even his traditionalism could be seen as a source of strength.) He was writing in the grand tradition of Eugene O`Neill and Arthur Miller, ... the politically engaged, direct, social-realist drama. He was reclaiming ground for the theater that most people thought had been abandoned.
- Tony KushnerAfter meeting with Louisiana officials last week, Rev. Jesse Jackson said, quote, `Many black people feel that their race, their property conditions and their voting patterns have been a factor in the response.` He continued, quote, `I`m not saying that myself.` Then I`ll say it. If the majority of the hardest hit victims of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans were white people, they would not have gone for days without food and water, forcing many to steal for mere survival. Their bodies would not have been left to float in putrid water. They would have been rescued and relocated a hell of a lot faster than this. Period. I mean, reporters and crews are getting to stranded people, and government and military agencies can`t? Why don`t the networks run FEMA? When I saw pictures of black people taking things from stores, my first thought was: `How are those Nikes necessary for your survival?` And then it hit me: People need shoes and clothing. Some escaped the floods with just the clothing on their backs. We have American citizens, not `refugees` from an underdeveloped country, waiting for food, water, shelter, and electricity for four, five, six days.
