I got to watch Frank Capra, in his eighties, in action. You read all the stories about Frank Capra fighting with the head of Columbia, Harry Cohn, It's my way or the highway. I got to watch that.

Pippin had an opening number called Magic to Do, and Jules Fisher, the brilliant lighting designer lit it. Tony Walton did all of the sets. As a kid I thought, Wow, I'm seeing onstage what a MGM musical would look like live. It was that good, and it was directed by Bob Fosse.

Everyone was talking about having airplanes disappear. And I said, Wait, wait, wait. That's what you like? I'd tell you a story about something like my girlfriend leaving me, and the magic was really hard. The airplane thing was comparatively easy, and people liked that thing? I realized at that moment, the power of the simple idea.
