The World Motivation
Motion pictures are a director's medium. Broadway is a writer's medium. Television is a producer's medium. I picked a medium I could control.

I was the first independent to walk in with a documentary.
I liked the clear morality of 1941, when you had no doubt about good and evil. There was a lot of idealism, people fighting for a cause. People are searching for morality today.
If people perceive 'Roots' to be a black history show, nobody is going to watch it.
I have to do popcorn for movies. I can do more important things for television. You're going down when you're making a movie, not going up.
When you're on Broadway, what's kind of the whole point is that you find something new in the show each night.
A lot of people now don't know I've been on Broadway.
I've had offers for Broadway and Hollywood musicals, but I do not want to take just any musical. I want the musical that's right for me when I'm right for it.
Trey Parker did 'Book of Mormon.' It's the best Broadway show I've ever seen. He does 'South Park.' It's wonderful.
When I was on Broadway when I was little, I remember always driving through Times Square with my dad to the theater. Now when I go back, you can't even drive on Broadway in the 40s. New Times Square is too touristy to me.
