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.

The idea that I have to be on the same side of the fence as Dan Quayle is cruelly depressing to me, but the truth is, I believe in family values.

I don't look back. I look forward and plan new shows. That's really feeding the most important part of working in the theater.

The musical has always been in jeopardy - until - or was in jeopardy until it was realised that it is probably the safest living theatre art form.

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

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

Nothing is staged exactly as it was, because I can't remember - and I consider that an advantage.
