Prince
A prince is a male ruler, monarch, or member of a monarch's or former monarch's family. Prince is also a hereditary title in the nobility of some European states.

I didn't go into the theater to be a producer, I went into the theater to be a director.
I always had a good time in theatre, even when shows don't turn out as well as I'd like.
I don't like abrasion while I'm working. I don't thrive on chaos. I enjoy what I'm doing, and it seems to work better when I am enjoying it.
I don't think there's a defined contemporary American musical, do you?
I love big, bold, truthful theater - the tradition of Victorian theater.
I really don't spend time thinking about the past. I think about the future. I'm not stopping.
I really wish people - maybe it's naive - wish people had priorities and were willing to be artistic patrons.
I'm a pragmatic man. I'll veer on the dangerous side, because I love dangerous subjects, but I won't shoot a show in the foot.
I remember when people actually wore coats and ties to theatre every night. They don't anymore. It's very different.
The perfect expression of receiving a lifetime award is to be working when they're handing it out.
I'm always glad to see somebody rethink something rather than reproduce something I did.
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.
I wouldn't want to be just pigeonholed as an extravagant director.
I was nine. I saw Orson Welles in 'Julius Caesar.' It was involving, emotional, imaginative. I've never forgotten it.
