मैं हर चीज़ में कुछ न कुछ सीखने की वजह ढूँढ ही लेता हूँ।
I just find something to learn in everything.

लोग मुझसे पूछते हैं: "क्या मैं खुद को एक लातिनी (Latino) लेखक मानता हूँ?" "लातिनी होने का क्या मतलब है?" इन सवालों के जवाब देना बहुत अजीब होता है, लेकिन नारीवाद (feminism) को समझना आसान है क्योंकि वह सिर्फ एक विचारधारा है, मेरी जिंदगी जीने का एक तरीका है। और पूरी तरह से राजनीतिक अर्थ में, मैं बैठकर बहुत मजबूत महिला किरदार लिखने की कोशिश करती हूँ।
People ask me: "Do I consider myself to be a Latino writer?" "What does it mean to be Latino?" Those are very strange questions to answer , but feminism is easier because it's just an ideology, a way I live my life. And absolutely in the most political sense I try to sit down and write very strong female roles.

मुझे याद है कि जब मैं कॉलेज पहुँची, तो अचानक मुझे अहसास हुआ कि बहुत से लोगों के लिए 'नारीवाद' एक गाली जैसा शब्द था, और यह बात मेरे लिए हैरान करने वाली थी। जब मैं लोगों से कहती कि मैं एक नारीवादी हूँ, तो वे मुझे देखकर पूछते, "क्यों?" और इस बात ने मुझे उस राह पर और ज्यादा सहज महसूस कराया।
I remember getting to college and all of a sudden realizing that feminism was a dirty word to a lot of people and it was baffling to me. I would tell people that I was a feminist and they would look at me and go, "Why?" And that just made me feel more at home in those shoes.

मेरे कुछ संगीत के शिक्षक बहुत अच्छे पुरुष थे, लेकिन मुझे लगता है कि जीवन में इन महिला गुरुओं का होना अपने आप में एक अलग बात है। यह मेरे लिए बहुत मायने रखता है और आप इसे मेरे काम में भी देख सकते हैं। मैं मातृसत्ता (matriarchs), उसके दर्द, उसकी खूबसूरती, उसकी ज़िम्मेदारियों और उसके प्यार के बारे में बहुत लिखता हूँ।
I had some great music teachers who were men, but I think there's something about having these master teachers who were women in my life. That's very meaningful to me and you see it in my work. I write a lot about matriarchs and the pain of it, the beauty of it, the burden of it, the love of it.

अगर मेरा कोई भी नाटक मेरे बाद भी जिंदा रहता है, या लाइब्रेरी की किताबों की शेल्फ तक पहुँचता है और किसी तरह लोग उसे पढ़ते रहते हैं, तो अचानक यह इस बात का प्रमाण बन जाता है कि "यह हमारी संस्कृति का हिस्सा है, यह हमारे इतिहास का हिस्सा है।"
If any of my plays outlive me or get on library book shelves and somehow stay read, all of a sudden it's a testament to "that's part of our culture, that's part of our history."

मुझे लगता है कि मेरे जीवन और लेखन से जुड़े सभी फैसले मेरी तैयारी का हिस्सा हैं—कि मैं क्या लिखना चुनता हूँ और नाटक लेखन के लिए मैं जिस जीवनशैली को अपनाता हूँ, उसमें कितनी गहराई से डूबता हूँ।
I think all of the decisions I make about my life and writing are the preparation - what I choose to write about and the immersive nature of the lifestyle I choose for playwriting.

उपन्यास उस भावनात्मक गहराई के खालीपन को भर सकते हैं।
Novels can fill in the spaces about what that emotional resonance is.

हर संगीत (म्यूजिकल) अपना रास्ता खुद ढूँढ लेता है।
