"Your job as a director is to serve the story. I don't think it's the job of a director in any medium to wave at the audience and say, "hey, don't forget about me, I did an important thing here as well!" You should make the play shine and make the actors shine. You should be invisible."

Roger Michell

"The most useful thing you can know as a director, is it's all right not to know"

Sir Richard Eyre

"In the theatre the search for utopia is a familiar, even necessary part of the process: to rehearse a play in the company of good actors, sharing a sense of common purpose, mutual respect, and pleasure in each other's company, is to come as close a you can to finding the elusive spot on the map marked 'utopia'"

Sir Richard Eyre
