"I believe in the American theatre. I believe in its power to inform about the human condition, its power to heal ... its power to uncover the truths we wrestle from uncertain and sometimes unyielding realities."
"You are responsible for the world that you live in. It is not government's responsibility. It is not your school's or your social club's or your church's or your neighbor's or your fellow citizen's. It is yours, utterly and singularly yours."
"Have a belief in yourself that is bigger than anyone's disbelief."
"All you need in the world is love and laughter. That's all anybody needs. To have love in one hand and laughter in the other."
"All of art is a search for ways of being, of living life more fully."
