An old building is like a show. You smell the soul of a building. And the building tells you how to redo it.

I had set a goal of being a producer by 25.

I know I'm in the exceptional position of having money but I didn't have it for many decades.

If there's too much of you around, people can get tired of you.

I never know what is going to have that 'X' factor and what isn't.

My own tastes happen to be in tune with what the public wants. I think that's the reason my batting average is so high, not because I've discovered some brilliant formula.

Audiences aren't going to get rid of me. One thing I can say, with absolute certainty, is that my shows will still be performed when I'm dead, buried and forgotten. They're going to absolutely outlive me, which is a wonderful thing to think about.
