Every TV timeout, I went up and said it right to Brady: 'Please keep trying me. I'm going to take it from you.'
Richard ShermanWe always feel there are 3 parts to the song. The most important part is the reason it should exist. Our process usually consists of me sitting at the piano & Bob hovering over it. We throw ideas out...I start to play something...he'll hum something to make it better. He'll throw a line to me, I'll twist it to make it better and we scramble around like that for sometimes hours and days, 'til we both agree we've got something to show! That's how it works!
Richard ShermanWalt Disney was a great believer in the use of song to convey story. He was primarily a storyman & story-driven songs were his 'pets.' He always asked what was going on with the song - he hated 'singing heads.' He loved learning about character & motivation thru music & lyrics.
Richard ShermanI don't want to be an island. I want to be more of a tourist attraction. You stop here, I take your money and you go.
