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

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 would like to see more new productions of new material by new composers/lyricists/book writers. I would like to see people take more chances. I think because everything costs so much they're not taking the chances they used to.

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

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.
