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

I was nine. I saw Orson Welles in 'Julius Caesar.' It was involving, emotional, imaginative. I've never forgotten it.

I'm a pragmatic man. I'll veer on the dangerous side, because I love dangerous subjects, but I won't shoot a show in the foot.

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

Nothing is staged exactly as it was, because I can't remember - and I consider that an advantage.

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

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