“Nobody has yet proven that taking a chance and doing something unique ...” — Harold Prince Quote

“Nobody has yet proven that taking a chance and doing something unique that an audience isn't used to is a bad idea. What the theater lacks is that kind of courage.”

“The truth is, for some absurd reason, no one is willing to admit that the interests of the producers and the theater owners are not the same.”

“'Evita' was four pieces of slick paper and a record album. It's the most scary, to sit down and dictate a musical scene by scene. It was a musical unlike anything I'd ever seen before myself.”

“Back in '93 and '94, when 'Dookie' was being made, my dad built this tour bus for us, out of a bookmobile. We toured in it for the first year. It was a really bad idea, by the way.”

“Girls are so quick to say they can't do something, and they won't even try, whereas boys tend to just go for something even if it's probably a bad idea.”

“You never know when you'll have a bad idea for a worse joke.”
