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

We've got to find a way to protect the process of making musical theater.

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

I don't like abrasion while I'm working. I don't thrive on chaos. I enjoy what I'm doing, and it seems to work better when I am enjoying it.

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

The idea that I have to be on the same side of the fence as Dan Quayle is cruelly depressing to me, but the truth is, I believe in family values.

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.
