We hear a lot about inspiration – or Muse – that drives an artist. What inspires you?

I think I was always meant to direct. Ever since I entered this crazed wonderful world of theatre the art of actually putting together a show from scratch really emboldened my curiosity. I would watch shows then go home and recast them with people I knew. I came up with new ways of capturing a scene using real life experience and that’s what inspires my direction. Being able to express the world in my own way. through my own eyes Also, being able to give great artists that same satisfaction makes it all the more enjoyable.

2. Arthur Miller’s “Death of a Salesman” is, in essence, a story about a father and the strained relationship he has with his son. It tells a story that’ s easy to relate to, about someone who has failed and struggles to come to terms with that failure; something even the most successful people have had to cope with at some point in their lives. The ideology and behavior of Willy Loman, the shows protagonist, has a scaring affect on the people who love and care for him.

What do you want most in your chosen profession? It’s OK to say “fame” or “wealth.”
