I don't look back. I look forward and plan new shows. That's really feeding the most important part of working in the theater.

Most of the big money people don't know what would interest an audience if you did it. They only know what interested the audience last time.

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.

The idea is to work and to experiment. Some things will be creatively successful, some things will succeed at the box office, and some things will only - which is the biggest only - teach you things that see the future. And they're probably as valuable as any of your successes.

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

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

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