It’s nice to stay up nights worrying about the material, and not about the investors who gave you $10 million to do your musical.
Audiences are quite happy to be astonished, and they don’t care who does that astonishing.
Despite the successes, you remember the failures – rather lovingly.
I always had a good time in theatre, even when shows don’t turn out as well as I’d like.
I didn’t go into the theater to be a producer, I went into the theater to be a director.
I don’t like abrasion while I’m working. I don’t thrive on chaos. I enjoy what I’m doing, and it seems to work better when I am enjoying it.
I remember when people actually wore coats and ties to theatre every night. They don’t anymore. It’s very different.
I saw ‘On The Town’ about nine times. I discovered it. I loved it. I was in college.
I was nine. I saw Orson Welles in ‘Julius Caesar.’ It was involving, emotional, imaginative. I’ve never forgotten it.
I wouldn’t want to be just pigeonholed as an extravagant director.
I’m always glad to see somebody rethink something rather than reproduce something I did.
I’m crazy about Dublin. If you went back 3,000 years in my ancestry you wouldn’t find a drop of Irish blood in the veins, but I love the place.
I’ve never been able to understand where great artists come from.
I’ve seen a lot of ‘Show Boats,’ but I’ve never seen the one that thoroughly satisfies me.
The perfect expression of receiving a lifetime award is to be working when they’re handing it out.
You are destined to reign in life. You are called by the Lord to be a success, to enjoy wealth, to enjoy health, and to enjoy a life of victory. It is not the Lord’s desire that you live a life of defeat, poverty, and failure.
One of the best ways to practice the presence of the Lord is to thank Him all the time.
Use money and love people. Don’t love money and use people.
What you believe is very powerful. If you have toxic emotions of fear, guilt and depression, it is because you have wrong thinking, and you have wrong thinking because of wrong believing.
Look within, get depressed; Look around, get distressed; Look to Jesus, find perfect rest.
