Despite The Successes, You Remember The Failures

I Have A Terrible Memory Because I'm Not Interested In The Past. It's Done, It's Done.

The Idea Is To Work And To Experiment. Some Things Will Be Creatively Successful, Some Things Will Succeed At The Box Office, And Some Things Will Only - Which Is The Biggest Only - Teach You Things That See The Future. And They're Probably As Valuable As Any Of Your Successes.

What's Missing In The Musical Theater Is Producers Willing To Nurture New Work, Raise The Money And Put It On.

Criticism Is Valuable... And Self-congratulatory Experiences Are Not.

When I Was A Producer, The Fun Of The Show Was Waking Up With A Hit And Enjoying The Period After The Show Opens. The Fun Of A Director Stops The Day It Opens. No Matter If It's A Success Or A Failure, It's Not A Whole Lot Of Fun Anymore.
