I like to do everything you can possibly do before you go into rehearsal, because once we are in rehearsal or on the stage there will be a problem I didn’t anticipate. It’s really good to think we got it all nailed - of course you’ve never got it all nailed.

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

I have a terrible memory because I'm not interested in the past. It's done, it's done.

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

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

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

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