The writer, when he is also an artist, is someone who admits what others don't dare reveal.

There is only one thing I respect in so-called Broadway actors... and that is their competitive sense.

One final thing a director needs: The ability to say 'I am wrong' or 'I was wrong.' Not as easy as it sounds. But in many situations, these 3 words, honestly spoken, will save the day.

The more ambivalent you are and the more uncertain you are, then you can get something that you cannot anticipate.
