furniture stuff
If the furniture doesn't come, I'll scrounge up some old stuff myself.
clue
When you're working on a play like 'Sloane,' that play works; you don't have to worry about that. When you're working on a new play like 'Little Dog,' you have no clue if the play works. You're exploring.
'On the Twentieth Century' was always something I wanted to do because of Kristin Chenoweth.
organized
The night before 'The Elephant Man' opened, we had a sleepover for 12 kids. Being organized is the key.
audience men room took until
'Twelve Angry Men' was done with an intermission, and I took that out. I really wanted an audience to feel like they had no break, just like those jurors, and you're not going to get out of that room until you come to a decision.
law supposed
We just do it that way because we don't think that's the way the law is supposed to be imposed.
monk
You can't live like a monk if you have two five-year-old twins. That ain't happening. Just the opposite, actually.
bad
A bad laugh is a laugh for the sake of a laugh that's out of character.
building people
This is the part of the building where people don't have to be quiet.

Any director who comes into a revival owes a great deal to the original director. If I know the backbone works, it gives me, as a director, much more freedom to bring something new to it or try something different.
work
As an actor, you don't have control over what you do, whom you work with.
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.
best boats extremely florida islands jet kinds lived owned plus shallow since
The thing I like about these kinds of boats is that you can get them in extremely shallow water, which is a big plus when you're going out to the islands around here. And the maneuverability is a big plus. It handles like a big Jet Ski. I've lived in Florida since I was 3 and owned a lot of boats, but this is one of the best to have in this part of Florida.
