When I was thinking about The Lion King, I said, we have to do what theater does best. What theater does best is to be abstract and not to do literal reality.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If you think there is anything in theater that objectively exists without your point of view attached, you are wrong.
A theatre is the most important sort of house in the world because that's where people are shown what they could be if they wanted and what they'd like to be if they dared to and what they really are.
Most theater tells you what to think.
Great theatre is about challenging how we think and encouraging us to fantasize about a world we aspire to.
I love theatre because that is my foundation. So, if I had to make a choice in terms of where I get the most fulfillments, it would be theatre. The reaction is so immediate, unlike with TV and film.
Reality really is theater. There's no other way to describe it. It's all so nonsensical, ridiculous and chaotic.
Theater publicly reveals the human condition through appealing to both intellect and emotion. Architecture, whether lowly or exalted, can do the same.
Theater has always been most important to my psyche.
I think theater is powerful. The best experiences I had in the theater are more powerful than the best experiences I had in movies.
I regard the theatre as the greatest of all art forms, the most immediate way in which a human being can share with another the sense of what it is to be a human being.
