Americans in particular are myopic. They’re not traveling as much. When you were a college student, the next thing you would do on graduation was to take a year off and travel. That’s what I did. I went to Indonesia Picture Quote #1

I really do believe that if you don’t challenge yourself and risk failing, that it’s not interesting Picture Quote #1

When I was thinking about The Lion King, I said, we have to do what theater does best. What theater does best is to be abstract and not to do literal reality Picture Quote #1

We took Beowulf, the epic poem in Old English, and put it right together with John Gardner’s contemporary retelling. If you bring it into today, we really feel that it has something very fresh to say now Picture Quote #1

And I just think that to introduce an unknown Shakespeare is thrilling, too - not to do Hamlet or Romeo and Juliet, to do the richer Shakespeare. People will come to this and not know the story Picture Quote #1

Theater is far superior to film in poetry, in abstract poetry Picture Quote #1

You program music with an image and then people are desensitized Picture Quote #1

I’ve never been a puppeteer, I conceive and I write and I design and I direct. And not just puppets. I direct actors, I direct dancers, I direct singers, I direct films. I also direct puppeteers. I’m really a theatre maker, but there’s not a word for that Picture Quote #1

I’m not going to spend two years on a film or four years on an opera if I don’t feel like I can put my own self into it. That doesn’t mean it has to be about myself Picture Quote #1

I really do believe that if you don’t challenge yourself and risk failing, that it’s not interesting Picture Quote #1
