In everything I've done, I've always tried to make room for indigenous people, to include them.

My naivety is to assume people will think there's compassion and solidarity in wanting to play someone even though we are not them.

With the social media phenomenon, where people's opinions inform so much of what we do with our lives, where the number of 'likes' decides what we should program, I cringe.

The thing that's interesting about Trump is that when you read 'Coriolanus,' you'd be tempted to draw parallels. But I don't do that.

The extraordinary context of 'Coriolanus' is that it's the first republic - it's the first attempt to create a society not ruled by a monarch. It changes the whole system, and you see how the establishment reacts to that, how they have disdain but play along - and you recognize this is the whole American republican system.

There's not a system better than another. There are some people better than others. I'm not anti-democracy, but there's no real system yet that has proven itself to be the right one.

I never went through a gender identity problem, but I did with my sexuality.

I never questioned if I was effeminate or not. That didn't matter in the theatre.

When I went into the conservatory at 17, then I was able to open up and accept everything about myself and show my feminine side as well as my masculine.

There is a way to grow old and still have dignity.

As a kid, my dad moved us to the upper town, which was in a higher class of people, and we would see the lower town below. Every day, we could see where we came from and where we were now.

I never thought of my father when I was growing up. Truly. He was a strong, silent man who worked hard to support his family.

I always thought I was more of a mommy's boy, because she was charming, talkative, a great storyteller. But as I dug back into my past, I realized I am exactly like my father on so many levels, although I never thought I inherited anything from him.

My father had barely any education. He could hardly write or count. But his great pride was that he was perfectly bilingual. In the household, he entertained this idea that we had to speak both languages.

If you decide to work with the opera world, chances are there are going to be people who resist that.

The safety prospects in 'Ka' are the highest in the world.

The first 'Ring' in Bayreuth was about the poetical world, the mythological world.

I had been warned by other directors that opera is hell. The singers don't want to do what you want.

Theatre is different. We can spend two weeks around a table talking about subtext. In opera, there is a score, and people already know their parts. And they move differently. I find all this liberating.

A lot of people hated every moment of my 'Ring.' And a lot of people who had never been to an opera bought subscriptions to the next season.

I was a privileged observer to be there when Celine Dion opened at Caesars Palace and then the second Gulf War started. It was an odd thing to see the impact both events had on Vegas. The place was riding high after Celine, but overnight, once war was declared, it was deserted.

In Las Vegas, you confront yourself with your darkest desires, because they're all possible there.

Vegas is a testing ground for the human soul. What are our values, especially in a time of crisis? Work with Cirque du Soleil, and you learn that quickly. The former socialist street performers who now throw parties by the pool with Brazilian models, oh yes!

Everybody loves Vegas, and everybody puts it down, especially intellectuals and artists. We have to rub our feet on it, but we're all secretly thrilled to be there.

I'm not good at entertainment. I don't give myself to all the interviews, game shows, or talk shows.

I'm not good at doing show business; I'm a theatre person. I don't reveal anything about my life.

Nothing is worse than having your dreams come true.

I'm a follower of people not necessarily connected with the theater.

For me, theater will always be very, very much alive, but not necessarily in the theatrical tradition.

My taste comes from when I was 12 years old and saw Genesis or Laurie Anderson or some performance artist who had put paint on himself. I've seen a lot of theater, but that's not what woke up my taste to become a director; nontheatrical things were much more theatrical than the theater I was seeing.

Of course theater will always be associated intimately to literature, but the themes or whatever have to penetrate you by the senses. Theater is a sensuous experience, and that's its main difference from film or any other dramatic art.

A show is good when there is a meeting of time and space, when time and space become irrelevant.

I've always been a little scared of technology, which is why I explore it.

Theater originated with technology. People forget that.
