It's people who are repressed and cannot express their fears that are dangerous.

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.

When I was growing up, there were a lot more arts in the public schools. Politically, America has screwed up on that.

One of the reasons I love to jump back and forth between mediums is that film does allow me to be more literal. I can go to the real place. I can go to the Coliseum, and I don't have to fake it.

That's my policy - to be positive, to just hope that something will happen. If you start with all your fears, your receptivity is for the negative.

What I don't have in theater is editing.
