The musical theater is a glorious and distinctly American innovation in the history of theater.

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.

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.

I want an audience that will come sitting forward in their seats.

I know it's a lot harder for women who don't have enough help, but the truth is, no matter how much money you have, if you want to stay involved with your children and don't want to lose being a primary parent to them, you're still in the game.

When you enchant people, your goal is not to make money from them or to get them to do what you want, but to fill them with great delight.

Even with my divorce and with everything, I don't need money.

What built America's called the American system, from Hamilton to Polk to Henry Clay to Lincoln to the Roosevelts. A system of protection of our manufacturing, financial system that lends to manufacturers, OK, and the control of our borders.
