Stay a child while you can be a child.

I like songs that are part of a dramatic texture, and therefore I like the scenes to be active. I wanna follow the story and that means you lean on the actors.

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

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

Writing is a form of mischief.

After the Rodgers and Hammerstein revolution, songs became part of the story, as opposed to just entertainments in between comedy scenes.

Musicals are, by nature, theatrical, meaning poetic, meaning having to move the audience's imagination and create a suspension of disbelief, by which I mean there's no fourth wall.
