In my teens, I developed a passionate idolatry for a teacher of English literature. I wanted to do something that he would approve of more, so I thought I should be some sort of a scholar.

In the commercial theater, I've been pretty fortunate. The producers that I've worked with have allowed me to define the artistic integrity, the artistic limits of the work.

If you're a director, your entire livelihood and your entire creativity is based on your self-confidence. Sometimes that's dangerously close to arrogance.

I always believe it's better to have 30 imaginations working on a project, rather than one imagination telling the other 29 what to do.

I've never had any feeling of disconnection between the classical theater, or the contemporary theater, or musical theater, or the thing that we call opera.

The film director, in many instances, has to swallow somebody else's decision about the final form of something. It's so hard as to be intolerable.

I would be terribly disappointed if anything would get in the way of my being cast in something, or if performances were canceled. It was a fix that I obviously needed.

One fine day I discovered that more complex plays really have to be directed.

I've experienced a private doubt, something that I've kept deeply inside, and then eventually delivered a piece of work that people responded to with huge enthusiasm.

Soundbite and slogan, strapline and headline, at every turn we meet hyperbole. The soaring inflation of the English language is more urgently in need of control than the economic variety.

Mem'ry All alone in the moonlight I can smile at the old days Life was beautiful then.

I want to be able to speak to as many people as I can in my life and share this with the world!

This very moment is your greatest adventure.

A smile becomes you or perhaps you become you when you smile.

Any moment which is not captured is loss in the events of time.

Pushing fifty is exercise enough.

Take care of your inner, spiritual beauty. That will reflect in your face.

You're abandoning a lot of ideas when you are too into comfort. 'Comfy'-that's one of the worst words!

I feel much better to give than to receive. That's why I'm much more happier now as a coach than I ever was as a fighter.
