Whether thats positive or not, people are talking about the Old Vic Theater again with passion and commitment and controversy and debate.

I love producing, I love bringing things together.

I accept the fact that some things dont go the way you hope.

Wanting people to listen, you can't just tap them on the shoulder anymore. You have to hit them with a sledgehammer, and then you'll notice you've got their strict attention.

I certainly identify with the role of mentor and, to some degree, maybe teacher. I do a lot of work with kids at the Old Vic.

While data can only tell you what has happened in the past, it can in some ways give you a sense of what might be of interest to an audience in the future.

If there is one thing I object to, its actors talking about how tough their jobs are.
