I Feel That I Speak The Musical

Knowing Is The Most Profound Kind Of Love, Giving Someone The Gift Of Knowledge About Yourself.

My View Is That Musicals Are Love Stories With Great Final Scenes. It's Just That Simple. Musicals Are Also Conflicts Between Two Worlds. And By Those Criteria, 'the Color Purple' Is Actually Exactly The Kind Of Story That Makes For A Great Musical. Yes, It's Got Hard Stuff In It, But So Does 'les Miserables' And 'phantom Of The Opera.'

I'm Who I Was Waiting For. I Didn't Make It.

Family Is Just Accident.... They Don't Mean To Get On Your Nerves. They Don't Even Mean To Be Your Family, They Just Are.

In The Theater, When People Hear That You're Writing A Play, They Want To Know What It's All About, Whether There's A Role For Them. You Write It Fairly Quickly, And It Becomes A Group Activity Before You're Really Ready To Have Company.
