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

Producers want to put their music behind revivals but I don’t think that’s a good trend for the theater at all.

I like to do everything you can possibly do before you go into rehearsal, because once we are in rehearsal or on the stage there will be a problem I didn’t anticipate. It’s really good to think we got it all nailed - of course you’ve never got it all nailed.

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

A star may guarantee business, but the tradeoff is a very short run.

I always had a good time in theatre, even when shows don't turn out as well as I'd like.

I wouldn't want to be just pigeonholed as an extravagant director.
