“When listening to the sound material, we metamorphose the inside into an outside. This notion of metamorphosis is one of the principles that leads the course of the musical suite, reflecting changes (fluidsolid passages: water/ice/fire) or movements (ebb/flow/wave, inspiration/expiration) or inside-outside passages (door/individual/crowd). Thus, the perceived object is not entirely what we would have liked it to be. Our music brings us closer to some while it takes us away from others: each with their own inside.”
“In almost every musical ever written, there's a place that's usually about the third song of the evening - sometimes it's the second, sometimes it's the fourth, but it's quite early - and the leading lady usually sits down on something; sometimes it's a tree stump in Brigadoon, sometimes it's under the pillars of Covent Garden in My Fair Lady, or it's a trash can in Little Shop of Horrors... but the leading lady sits down on something and sings about what she wants in life. And the audience falls in love with her and then roots for her to get it for the rest of the night.”

I mean, I'd much rather show you a photograph that makes demands on you, that you might become involved in on your own terms or be perplexed by.”
“Starting pitching will either lead you to the White House or the out house.”
“Today's gasoline prices are taking a severe toll on Americans' pocketbooks. Consumers are anxious.”
“The darkest hour in any man's life is when he sits down to plan how to get money without earning it.”
“Marks on paper are free - free speech - press - pictures all go together I suppose.”
“I didnâ€™t care about anything except her and the way touching her drove me wild, even as her calm and steady presence soothed the storms that raged within me.”
