Perpetual anticipation is good for the soul but it's bad for the heart.

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

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

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.

With videotaping, on the second generation you're already losing some of the freshness.

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

The situation's fraught, Fraughter than I thought, With horrible, impossible possibilities!
