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

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.

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