"Pinocchio's really naughty. He's all impulse: 'I want to sleep now. I want to eat that. I want to ru..." — John Tiffany

Where film can eat up story, theatre needs space and breath.

I love singing, and I used to perform quite a lot, but now, as a director, you just tend to watch other people perform and tell them what to do.

If you're going to be hosting any event or a performance or having dinner with people after a performance, it is work, but it's also social: food and a glass of wine would be involved often.

I tend to work quite a lot during the weekends. My weekend can often be about two hours on Sunday.
