When you're a freelance director, you are hired to create the art, and it kind of stops there.

I had this epiphany that I like the interaction with people. I wanted to make things happen at a grassroots level.

I listen to music, I read scripts, and I know pretty intuitively if I can unlock it in a way. It's actually very liberating when you understand that not everything is for you.

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 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.

I'm always interested in looking - historically - at how theater can animate history and how all of that can make us engage with our lives in an enriching way.

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.

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.

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

My generation of director has no illusions that we are going to be fed and cared for by subsidized theater in America.
