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

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.

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.

The musical has always been in jeopardy - until - or was in jeopardy until it was realised that it is probably the safest living theatre art form.

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