I was raised by my mom, but my grandma, Ruth, and my papa, Golden, took care of me a lot. He died right before “Slave Play” got moved from the Belasco Theater to the Golden Theater, and that felt magical. I’m not so deluded as to say something like “The money I made this year is inconsequential money." I don’t know if this money will be the only money I make for the next two years — I don’t know what the decade will bring for me. But I felt no qualms about giving this much of it away, because it is more money than I ever imagined I would make, and it’s also more money than I need.
