At heart, I'm really interested in this marriage of theater, film and television and I think what happened in the UK and obviously is happening here is that there's a convergence of talent kind of moving between the different disciplines and I find that very exciting.

My principal focus is finding great dramas.

Each audience seems to have a life of its own, which is why watching the show regularly is so exciting, because it's always a different experience.

I live in New York, so I'm used to the audiences that cheer and clap through a play. It is unusual for London audiences.

The notion that the staging of the play Harry Potter should be raw magic and street theater rather than high-tech theater, was essential.

My career has sort of been characterized by taking advantage of the changes in the marketplace, sometimes by design, sometimes by accident.

The White Queen in many ways it is representative of the sort of drama that I'm talking about. The books by Philippa Gregory were best sellers and they specifically told the story of history from the point of view of women.
