I'm a firm believer in the idea that theater excels over film and TV in its ability to let people play with poetry.

I am creative in my living space - the designer in me helps that out.

Children have an easier ability to tap into the surreal than adults do, in a funny kind of way.

When I was thinking about The Lion King, I said, we have to do what theater does best. What theater does best is to be abstract and not to do literal reality.

Everything amounts to nothing if you don't love someone or something.

I use cinematic things in a theatrical way on stage, and in film I use theatrical techniques in a cinematic way.

A performance can have amazing visuals and special effects, but it has to tell a good story, even if that story isn't original.
