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

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'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.

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

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

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

Producers want to put their music behind revivals but I don’t think that’s a good trend for the theater at all.
