Audiences are quite happy to be astonished, and they don't care who does that astonishing.

I have a terrible memory because I'm not interested in the past. It's done, it's done.

I didn't go into the theater to be a producer, I went into the theater to be a director.

I love big, bold, truthful theater - the tradition of Victorian theater.

I was nine. I saw Orson Welles in 'Julius Caesar.' It was involving, emotional, imaginative. I've never forgotten it.

It's nice to stay up nights worrying about the material, and not about the investors who gave you $10 million to do your musical.
