As a director, I never feel that I have the answers.

I give so much of myself to my work; I want to be with people who are going to be there with me.
- Good

- Nov 07, 2020
I'm always interested in working with people who are good team players - that are selfless that way in their interests and dedication to the project.
- Look
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
For me, the reason why people go to a mountaintop or go to the edge of the ocean is to look at something larger than themselves. That feeling of awe, of going to a cathedral, it's all about feeling lost in something bigger than oneself. To me, that's the definition of spectacle.
- Bubble

- Nov 07, 2020
I don't want to be in an art bubble.
- Elizabethan
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In Elizabethan England or classical Athens... theater was at the center of, not culture, but society and politics and religion and civic engagement. Those things have a different audience.
- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
You have to think about why you're asking an audience to come to the theater. It's not that they should come because it's good for them, because it's the vegetables that they should eat and the culture shot that they should get... It's about experience and building community and catalyzing dialogue and bringing people together.
- Doing
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Music is rhythm, and all theater is rhythm. It's about tempo and change and pulse, whether you're doing a verse play by Shakespeare or a musical.
- Gold

I grew up with a beautiful gold harp sitting in our living room. My older sister played it.
- Conquer

- Nov 07, 2020
Theatre and opera were always the twin kingdoms that I felt I had to conquer, because they were my parents' favorites.
- Blocks
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Look at where I lived! Four blocks from Lincoln Center. I used to play in the fountain. And then I started taking dance lessons. I was in 'The Nutcracker' for the N.Y. City Ballet when I was 8 and dancing in 'The Firebird' for George Balanchine when I was 9. Believe me, that's something you don't ever forget.
- Dance
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Opera is the ultimate art form. It has singing and music and drama and dance and emotion and story.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think actually what keeps the intensity manageable - it's a little counterintuitive - is that it's changing all the time. Every week is different for me.
- Point
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've gotten to the point that I don't even know what tomorrow brings. When I'm teaching, obviously I'm in town for the class every week.
- Moment
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Being a director, whether you're in rehearsal or you're in auditions or you're in a creative meeting, is so much to me about being present in the moment. There's a sense of time stopping.
- Believe
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Art cannot be looked at as an elite, sacred event anymore. It has to be embraced as an accessible, popular form, which is what I believe theater is at its roots.
- Culture
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think in our culture there's been a tendency for people to blame the audience. There is a tendency in our industry to say, 'The audience has left the building. People don't want culture anymore.'
- Depraved
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We're a depraved civilization. All this technology, all the computer games and the iPhones... nobody will sit for art anymore. What a dismaying state of humanity.
- Glorious

The musical theater is a glorious and distinctly American innovation in the history of theater.
- Mission
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The mission of the A.R.T. is to expand the boundaries of theater through works of the canon and the new works of tomorrow.
- Hope
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think every theater in America wants a younger audience... and you can't just hope to have a younger audience, you have to program things that audience is going to connect with.
- I Am
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I am always looking for what piece, what artists, what playwrights, what directors, what subject matter is going to catalyze an audience.
