Cuts to the chase of it, yeah.

Yes.

Although I trust Ivo van Hove, our director, so implicitly.

And I realized that.

That's really his position.

But he wanted to run the names of the people that he liked by me.

And, you know, I would either say, oh, yes, or I don't know their work or whatever.

But I didn't put the kibosh on anyone.

Well, I can honestly say that that's the same tenor that is happening offstage as well.

It's a good group of human beings, very respectful people.

I take out my cast before we start.

At the very beginning of rehearsal, I want to take out the cast, and I want to talk to them about what we could establish.

Not essential, again, but what kind of family can we create here?

And I think it's age-related, too.

At this stage in my life,

I want the experience offstage to be as rewarding as it is onstage.

So that you look forward to going to work, seeing these people, laughing about something that happened the night before.

Or, oh, can you, is it possible, can you delay your entrance a second?

Can you, is it, can you, oh yeah, okay, yeah.

Let's try that tonight.
