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

I remember when people actually wore coats and ties to theatre every night. They don't anymore. It's very different.

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

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

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

A star may guarantee business, but the tradeoff is a very short run.

I don't think there's a defined contemporary American musical, do you?
