I saw 'On The Town' about nine times. I discovered it. I loved it. I was in college.

When I was a producer, the fun of the show was waking up with a hit and enjoying the period after the show opens. The fun of a director stops the day it opens. No matter if it's a success or a failure, it's not a whole lot of fun anymore.

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

Artistic self-indulgence is the mark of an amateur. The temptation to make scenes, to appear late, to call in sick, not to meet deadlines, not to be organized, is at heart a sign of your own insecurity and at worst the sign of an amateur.

I didn't go into the theater to be a producer, I went into the theater to be a director.

It's a terrible shame if you're born the brightest guy in your class. If you're not, then you have to hustle-and that's good.

I really don't spend time thinking about the past. I think about the future. I'm not stopping.
