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

I've never been able to understand where great artists come from.

We've got to find a way to protect the process of making musical theater.

The truth is, for some absurd reason, no one is willing to admit that the interests of the producers and the theater owners are not the same.

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.

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

The idea is to work and to experiment. Some things will be creatively successful, some things will succeed at the box office, and some things will only - which is the biggest only - teach you things that see the future. And they're probably as valuable as any of your successes.
