Quotes from Leon Forrest

My method of writing is to take the most basic kind of line and improvise on it. After all, I am the child of the culture which created Jazz.

I want to look at the work. I don't care if its white or black. I don't agree that "If you're white, you can't write". I want to see what they can do. I also don't believe that because I am a man, I can't write about women. I had better quit writing, if I can't write about women. Why can't women write about men? It's talent that's important.
