Every day I wake up, there's a little part of my brain that's thinking I might die in a terrorist attack today.

In terms of theater itself, no story is too strange or method of telling it too impossible these days. In many ways, musical theater has caught up with straight theater in that it's allowed more surreality and breaking of form, and that's really exciting to me - the challenge is getting people to produce those shows.

The liveness of theater, and the excitement of experiencing it alongside an audience, is something you can't get at home. That makes the theater more vital than ever. It's definitely expensive, but I have faith that the market will keep recognizing the live experience as a valuable and important one.

Theater and music are both collaborative media, and I think they're best when they combine different people's visions and aesthetics.

The real skill of being a writer is being able to take your inspired moments, and make them work as a whole, through the unromantic, daily hard work.

I take a lot of inspiration from the people I work with, and having many collaborators keeps me challenged and inspired.
