good himself surround
The smartest thing a director can do is surround himself with really good people.
balance business change era life matter personal question theatre types
The theatre show-biz types don't change much, no matter what era we're in. The question of how you balance being in show business with your personal life isn't very different.
backbone deal director freedom gives great original owes revival

love tend
I'm big on research. I love research, so I tend to do a lot of reading.
