I really wish people - maybe it's naive - wish people had priorities and were willing to be artistic patrons.

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

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

Audiences are quite happy to be astonished, and they don't care who does that astonishing.

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

I always had a good time in theatre, even when shows don't turn out as well as I'd like.

What's missing in the musical theater is producers willing to nurture new work, raise the money and put it on.
