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

Art cannot be looked at as an elite, sacred event anymore. It has to be embraced as an accessible, popular form, which is what I believe theater is at its roots.

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

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

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

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.

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