Creativity is a form of knowledge.

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 had this epiphany that I like the interaction with people. I wanted to make things happen at a grassroots level.

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

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

Theatre and opera were always the twin kingdoms that I felt I had to conquer, because they were my parents' favorites.

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