I've gotten to the point that I don't even know what tomorrow brings. When I'm teaching, obviously I'm in town for the class every week.

I don't want to be in an art bubble.

My generation of director has no illusions that we are going to be fed and cared for by subsidized theater in America.

Opera is the ultimate art form. It has singing and music and drama and dance and emotion and story.

Im always interested in working with people who are good team players - that are selfless that way in their interests and dedication to the project.

At the core of what I'm doing is a belief in the audience, a belief that populism doesn't mean dumbing down theater, but rather giving the audience a voice and a role in experiencing theater.

As a director, I never feel that I have the answers.
