I prefer neurotic people. I like to hear rumblings beneath the surface.

Slotted spoons don't hold much soup.

I'm interested in the theater because I'm interested in communication with audiences. Otherwise I would be in concert music.

Music straightjackets a poem and prevents it from breathing on its own, whereas it liberates a lyric. Poetry doesn't need music; lyrics do.

If the end is right, it justifies the beans!

I firmly believe lyrics have to breathe and give the audience's ear a chance to understand what's going on. Particularly in the theater, where you have costume, story, acting, orchestra.

Sometimes people leave you Halfway through the wood Others may decieve you You decide what's good You decide alone But no one is alone
