Heath Ledger's recent death, like that of River Phoenix, was handled with great care by the press. Anna Nicole Smith's not so much.

He took exception to that, and he's right, ... This is culture. What is counterculture is 'The Anna Nicole Smith Show.'

We need theatre that is contemporary, lively and relevant, and the only way to do that is to take care of our playwrights and produce their plays.

We don't think Anna Nicole Smith will ever see any money. If Anna Nicole Smith had taken the six million dollars that had her late husband had given her or invested it, she would have been set for life.

She was abusive to him [the elder Marshall]. She was cruel to him, Anna Nicole Smith is not the brightest light bulb in the fixture.

I think it's straight men who are oblivious to goodness or badness to dates. That's probably unfair. Maybe they just don't complain as much.
