"I love the rehearsal process in the theatre, and the visceral sense of contact and communication with a live audience."

"Catcher in the Rye had a profound impact on me-the idea that we all have lots of dreams that are slowly being chipped away as we grow up."

"With failure, you just try again."

"I just couldn't go back to Suddenly Susan after David Strickland's suicide. I didn't see how we could make the show light and funny any more."

"Remember to be as smart as you are."
