Creativity and the world of the imagination - the beauty of what we see as a child and the kind of play that we experience as a child - can be a way for us to survive tough times.

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.

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

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

Im always interested in looking - historically - at how theater can animate history and how all of that can make us engage with our lives in an enriching way.

The musical theater is a glorious and distinctly American innovation in the history of theater.

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