I give so much of myself to my work; I want to be with people who are going to be there with me.
I grew up with a beautiful gold harp sitting in our living room. My older sister played it.
Theatre and opera were always the twin kingdoms that I felt I had to conquer, because they were my parents' favorites.
Opera is the ultimate art form. It has singing and music and drama and dance and emotion and story.

The mission of the A.R.T. Is to expand the boundaries of theater through works of the canon and the new works of tomorrow.
I had this epiphany that I like the interaction with people. I wanted to make things happen at a grassroots level.
Politics, to a degree, is about legislation, administration. You can't be there in the trenches.
When you're a freelance director, you are hired to create the art, and it kind of stops there.
My generation of director has no illusions that we are going to be fed and cared for by subsidized theater in America.
