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.

When you trance out properly, when you're completely in that world, there is no other world, so there's no conflict.

Every writer I've ever spoken to feels fraudulent in some way or other.

For anyone approaching any one of the cast albums, if they don't like what they hear, it's not the performer's fault.

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

Sometimes colleagues in performance are absolutely astonishing.

If I got involved with the chat rooms and Facebook and everything - I would probably never leave. That's why I don't do it. I literally don't do it. At all.
