I think theatres will always remain a sacred place where people go for something live and experience things live, which is very different than the experience of film.

You don't do any show to be celebrated. In fact, you don't do any show thinking what's going to happen in the end. You immerse yourself in a room full of talent and a room full of designers and you hope for the best.

I know a lot of choreographers prefer to do abstract dance and not be bothered with a story, but even when I'm asked to do classical ballet or a modern piece, I still want to tell a story.

It is a miracle a musical gets up because of all the different departments and how much it costs. It is a miracle.

I feel the theatre is the most unique one of all [the arts] for collaboration. I feel very fortunate to be in a field where I really do get to have long conversations with the visual artists, the actors, the musicians. It's all art forms rolled into one and I feel very fortunate to be a part of it.

I would love to direct a play. But I think when people look at me they see music and dancing and singing.
