Nowadays, there are sometimes more producers than there are people in the cast, because it takes that much money to put a show on.

I don't write songs apart from theatrical pieces. I'm not interested in writing songs qua songs.

I didn't really want to write just lyrics, but I wanted to meet Leonard Bernstein. Music was always the first reason I was writing songs.

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