Actors are smart. They have to feel safe enough to fall and to get back up. My job is to make sure they don't get hurt.
From Scott Ellis
Casting, to me, is always the same. It's a very important part of a director's job. I pick people that I sense I'd like to be in a room with and will enjoy the rehearsal process with because that's the best part.
As an actor, you don't have control over what you do, whom you work with.
I don't consider myself a flashy director. A lot of times, people will look and don't even know what I do.
The night before 'The Elephant Man' opened, we had a sleepover for 12 kids. Being organized is the key.
I get to choose the people I work with.
My directing style has changed over the years. I allow things to breathe a lot more.
After raising twins, you get organized.
I feel that once you go into rehearsal, you need to focus on the show in the room.
'You Can't Take It With You' has eighteen people onstage at one point. Musicals entail a larger collaboration, and I love that.
