I guess, the older one gets the more interested you get into doing those kinds of things. It's a rarely wonderful opportunity to work and create, and step back and be able to look at ongoing living work of art. You view it more objectively, than if you're actually performing in it as an actor. Coordinating in trying to get a visual picture to be somewhat true to the intentions of the playwright, especially when you have a good script. To have a work of art that the audience will come to and leave the theatre with the imprint of that creation behind their eyelids.
Someone has to be very creative.
Willing to take risks, but risk within the framework of the work of art that they're performing, or directing. I look for people that I can work with. One of my objectives is to have a cast that can get along. They've got to be talented and intelligent because they've got to take directions. They've got to be willing to work together as a team.
