A song just doesn't come on. I've always had to tease it out, squeeze it out.

Just direct your feet to the sunny side of the street.

I'm in the mood for love, simply because you're near me. Funny, but when you're near me I'm in the mood for love.

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

No matter where I run, I meet myself there.

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.

Love is the reason you were born.
