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

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

I'm crazy about Dublin. If you went back 3,000 years in my ancestry you wouldn't find a drop of Irish blood in the veins, but I love the place.

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.

Despite the successes, you remember the failures - rather lovingly.

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

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.
