My father was very funny, so I grew up with humor in the house. And I was always really attracted to comedies on TV. I was always really attracted to comics.

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 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.

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

It is true that I visualize music and, as I visualize music, I have some sort of story running in my head, all the time.

I think a woman who is successful is critiqued more harshly than a man is critiqued.
