“I see a lot of art; we see a lot of music, films at Sundance... that influences me and informs me more than theater just because I make a bigger effort to see other art forms.”

“I love seeing people in their mess. I find that heartwarming. Charm just doesn't interest me. If I want to see charming people, I can watch TV.”

“Personally, I don't want to do theater that's very stylish, when it's just stories on stage that are basically the same as TV or film.”

“Too often, it is presumed that young people will only like art that they can immediately relate to. Working-class students may be steered towards popular culture like hip-hop, new media and film on the basis that they will find older art forms such as opera or ballet irrelevant.”

“One of the things I love about opera is that it's the combination of all the art forms, and certainly the world of fashion is a big deal in it.”

“I think comedy is incredibly discriminated against. It is one of the most enjoyed yet most condescended art forms in the world. It's the same thing with hip-hop.”
