My main goal is to tell a story.

I do not dwell on dreams I know how soon a dream becomes an expectation How can I have expectations? Look at me, No, Captain, Look at me, Look at me!

Everything depends upon execution; having just a vision is no solution.

It's pleasanter to work in the country, where you can wander out among the trees. But I don't get as much work done. In the city you don't want to leave the room because there's all that chaos going on.

In the Rodgers and Hammerstein generation, popular hits came out of shows and movies.

The dumbing down of the country reflects itself on Broadway. The shows get dumber, and the public gets used to them.

I don't listen to recordings of my songs. I don't avoid it, I just don't go out of my way to do it.
