You think, 'Musicals, they must always be romantic' - You'd be surprised how few of them historically have ever been romantic.

Criticism is valuable... and self-congratulatory experiences are not.

Despite the successes, you remember the failures - rather lovingly.

What's missing in the musical theater is producers willing to nurture new work, raise the money and put it on.

I'm crazy about Dublin. If you went back 3,000 years in my ancestry you wouldn't find a drop of Irish blood in the veins, but I love the place.

I'm always glad to see somebody rethink something rather than reproduce something I did.

I remember when people actually wore coats and ties to theatre every night. They don't anymore. It's very different.
