New York is obviously the capital of theater.

In this new digital landscape, this sort of international marketplace, it's come full circle, and I wanted to take advantage of my talent relations on both sides of the Atlantic.

You never know, until you put a play up for an audience, whether it's going to work. Things you think will work don't, and things you're not sure about work really well.

I live in New York, so I'm used to the audiences that cheer and clap through a play. It is unusual for London audiences.

Each audience seems to have a life of its own, which is why watching the show regularly is so exciting, because it's always a different experience.

The notion that the staging of the play Harry Potter should be raw magic and street theater rather than high-tech theater, was essential.

The play has to work for the super fans, and not speak down to them, and yet it had to play to those people who maybe had never read a Harry Potter book or seen the films.

My principal focus is finding great dramas.

I think people want the intimacy in the engagement of sitting in a theater with people and seeing something happen live and engage in that. I think that could be a very powerful experience.

My career has sort of been characterized by taking advantage of the changes in the marketplace, sometimes by design, sometimes by accident.

To believe in the truth of Christ is to be introduced to another form of hatred, and that is not sharing Him.

You can never escape God's Grace because as you run from it, you run to it.

As a pediatric neurosurgeon, I frequently faced life and death situations, and had to come up with the right diagnosis, the right plan, and execute that plan frequently with other colleagues.

An Honest politician will not be tolerated by a democracy unless he is very stupid ... because only a very stupid man can honestly share the prejudices of more than half the nation.

Enjoy every single day you get to lead because it will be over in a blink.

I am always playing hard trying to win. Just knowing that at one time I was once that kid that looked up to NBA players and NFL players. Today these kids look up me.

Many of America's and New York's sons and daughters are around the world fighting for the freedoms that the Statue of Liberty stands for.

Whatever may be the position in life of a parent, it is his duty to share his crust with his children. If you want a thing done well, do it yourself.

I’ve questioned everything about myself, every step of the way. You have to have the same amount of fear and self-doubt as you do hope and blind optimism.

Gaze no more in the bitter glass The demons, with their subtle guile, Lift up before us when they pass, Or only gaze a little while.
