We don't live. We're miming in the choir.

When you work with someone you don't quite know, you have to figure the director out and you can come up with ideas that are counter-productive.

All directors are control freaks and very obsessive. I get the feeling that directors as kids, they all have had a childhood with not too much contact with other kids. They constructed their own reality and they continue to do it. It's a funny breed, directors.
