I believe education in music, theater, dance, and the visual arts is one of the most I believe that as a part of the educational process, each child should have access to a music education program. That is part of a well-rounded education and can provide so much joy, now and in the future.

In choosing a president, we really don't choose a Republican or Democrat, a conservative or liberal. We choose a leader.

We only see the oppressive side of authority. Maybe it comes out of our history and our background. What we don't see is that freedom is not a concept in which people can do anything they want, be anything they can be. Freedom is about authority. Freedom is about the willingness of every single human being to cede to lawful authority a great deal of discretion about what you do and how you do it.

No one wants a good education. Everyone wants a good degree.

There's movement. It's very physical. There is live music happening onstage. I think of this as total theater.

Theater is, of course, a reflection of life. Maybe we have to improve life before we can hope to improve theater.
