I have no interest in directing. I'd be a bad director.

I had a lot of lucky breaks When I got a job that I had no training in; I just had to get good and work very, very hard, learning what I needed.

There's been a big spur in downtown development with new business, restaurants and a lot of loft buying. The buses run, and there's a subway that runs through downtown.

I'll be going to the granddaddy of the Los Angeles theaters.

The trick is to have my own particular taste and feel for the theater to audiences who have been used to one particular style and taste for nearly 40 years.

The new Kirk Douglas Theater for development of new plays and education in Culver City is an area doing a major redevelopment. We're part of that.

I will have to get more used to the day to day life-the car culture, the culture of the weather, the youth culture.

I will be doing some pre-Broadway shows. It'll all be very interesting, and the runs in both theaters will be longer-8 weeks on average.

I went into this job to do plays, but that's here for 10 weeks, and the rest of the year I do a lot of other things-the administrative work of planning, reading plays.
