[I do theatre] 'to be happy.''Theatre is a real part of my life. It's not a job.'
'I hate the term "deconstructionist". It's not what I do.'
‘What’s interesting about life are the things you don’t know yet.’
‘Preparation is my safety net.’
‘Our goal is always Olympic; go for the gold. Better to fail with grandeur.’
‘A play is like a holiday. We have to all decide where to go. If I decide to go to Umbria and the actor goes to Budapest, we aren’t on the same vacation.’
‘Before you find the exit to the building, you have to find the entrance.’
‘I direct texts. They are not my fantasies. I try to direct what the writer intended.’
[to Chuck Mee] ‘Eugene O’Neill is your opposite.’
‘When you close the rehearsal room door, you can live all your fantasies. You can live what is forbidden in society. All these experiences are inside us.’
‘I try not to know how the scene ends. We have a misunderstanding that we have to know.’
‘I admire actors who play it like opening night at the first rehearsal.’
‘When you don’t know the answer to something, don’t pretend like you do.’
‘Craftsmanship without passion is boring.’
‘We always play an interpretation. It’s never objective.’
‘I can tell much more about myself with someone else’s words. It’s more personal.’
