No matter where I run, I meet myself there.

In a show or a movie, one must work with many people. Many women just don't have the time for it.

Pick yourself up, dust yourself off, start all over again.

The songwriter mustn't fall in love with his own song. If it doesn't belong, he can't push it into a show. Let him save it; maybe it'll fit in another show.

If you don't have a story that will hold the audience, you won't have a successful show.

I don't care how good a song is. If it holds back the storyline, stalls the plot, your audience will reject it.

A song must move the story ahead. A song must take the place of dialogue. If a song halts the show, pushes it back, stalls it, the audience won't buy it; they'll be unhappy.
