I think the thing's that perhaps sad really is that younger people haven't come in and I think it must have been absolutely fantastic to have worked in the 50's when you had all of the great Broadway composers and when West Side Story didn't win the Tony Award.

Negative things, and they were all deliberate and I'm not going to say who they were but I know who they were and it was in the business, and that's not a good sign.

I've got to find something and if I find something that I like, I'll do it. If I don't, I won't.

As a composer at a point where I can absolutely pick and choose what I want to do, I don't want to write about anybody I don't care about.

No matter what they tell you, no matter what they do, no matter what they teach you, what you believe is true.

People in Britain always think of 'Jesus Christ Superstar' as a musical - it wasn't.

It doesn't stand up to huge intellectual scrutiny.
