time tony
My first time ever on the Tony Awards was in 1984, the year of 'The Rink.'
allow directing
My directing style has changed over the years. I allow things to breathe a lot more.
directors experience learned listen
My acting experience has been a benefit. What I learned from directors is how to listen to and talk with actors. I know how they think and what they need.
benefit restrict students
We wouldn't restrict it to just them. The things we do should benefit all students.
people
I don't consider myself a flashy director. A lot of times, people will look and don't even know what I do.
best people pick rehearsal room
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.
I feel that once you go into rehearsal, you need to focus on the show in the room.
choose people work
I get to choose the people I work with.
furniture stuff
If the furniture doesn't come, I'll scrounge up some old stuff myself.
bad good shows
I always have to come back to shows to take out the improvements actors have put in. Laughs are addictive, and sometimes they're good laughs, and sometimes they're bad laughs.
charges civil courts decent determined fair filing fund money raising rather revenue source state traffic
I do feel the civil traffic charges are fair in that the state has pretty much determined that money is to be a decent source of revenue to fund the courts rather than raising filing fees even higher,
love tend
I'm big on research. I love research, so I tend to do a lot of reading.
avid boat fisherman island likes maybe needs
If you're an avid fisherman who needs a live-bait well on the boat, or who likes to go out deep, this is not the boat for you. Maybe that kind of boat is on the horizon, but not right now. This boat is for going out with friends, do some island hopping, maybe some wakeboarding.
gone passed twin
Being a twin, and knowing if my twin was gone or lost - that's a part of me. There's no way I could be the same person knowing my brother had passed away.
