When I was a producer, the fun of the show was waking up with a hit and enjoying the period after the show opens. The fun of a director stops the day it opens. No matter if it's a success or a failure, it's not a whole lot of fun anymore.

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

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

I have a terrible memory because I'm not interested in the past. It's done, it's done.

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

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.
