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

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

I got successful awfully quick, and I wanted it... But I do think there is responsibility to move the musical theater form forward. I think you always have to be aware of the work that came before and build on that.

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

I was there when the quote-unquote golden age of musical theater was flourishing. I met everybody who worked in theater or was famous in theater from the '40s on.

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.
