“I’m tired of people complaining about the theatre – about everything. The world will survive, for God’s sake, and so will the theatre. It’s going to change; it’s going to look unlike anything you dreamed of, but it’s worth the fights and the challenges, and I’m telling you that none of that beauty and none of those rewards are going to the people who keep whining about how it – whatever it is – didn’t meet their expectations. Rise to whatever you want and meet it on its terms, then rise above them.”
