Many plays-certainly mine-are like blank checks. The actors and directors put their own signatures on them.
Scott is one of the most talented and respected athletic directors in the nation. With Scott's arrival, I believe we now have one of the strongest, most experienced, and talented administrative teams in the nation.
There are all kinds of directors I want to work with and all kinds of films that I want to do.
It's harder being a woman director because on the whole women don't have husbands or boyfriends who are willing to be wives
To deny women directors, as I suspect is happening in the States, is to deny the feminine vision.
Performers are so vulnerable. They're frightened of humiliation, sure their work will be crap. I try to make an environment where it's warm, where it's OK to fail - a kind of home, I suppose.
I feel that directors at times are like the janitors on the set. I am the secretary, I am the organizer, I am the maid, and I ask if they have eaten or rested. The best things are always out of your control. It's those moments that surpass the imagination that are thrilling.

I'd love it if doors open for me in America. There are directors I'd love to work with there. I'll always do theater, but I've got to pay the mortgage.
