There's something inimical about the camera and song.

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

When you know your cast well and their strengths and weaknesses, you can start writing for them, just the way Shakespeare wrote for his actors.

You have two kinds of shows on Broadway - revivals and the same kind of musicals over and over again, all spectacles. You get your tickets for 'The Lion King' a year in advance, and essentially a family comes as if to a picnic, and they pass on to their children the idea that that's what the theater is - a spectacular musical you see once a year, a stage version of a movie. It has nothing to do with theater at all. It has to do with seeing what is familiar. We live in a recycled culture.

Ah, but if you have no expectations, You can never have a disappointment.

Everyone would like to be on Broadway, cause if a show works, you make a great deal of money and it allows you to write other shows.

You may know what you need, but to get what you want, better see that you keep what you have.
