Music Expresses Longing And Love

Art Is How A Culture Records Its Life, How It Poses Questions For The Next Generation And How It Will Be Remembered.

If Someone Wants To Say 'i Love You' In A Straight Play, They Say It, And Then It's The Other Person's Turn To Talk. But In A Song, You Can Sing About It For Another Three Minutes. The Musical Form Has That Unique Opportunity To Express At Length What Joy Really Feels Like.

No. You Can't. And I Can't Do Anything Either, About My Life, To Change It, Make It Better, Make Me Feel Better About It. Like It Better, Make It Work. But I Can Stop It. Shut It Down, Turn It Off Like The Radio When There's Nothing On I Want To Listen To. It's All I Really Have That Belongs To Me And I'm Going To Say What Happens To It. And It's Going To Stop. And I'm Going To Stop It. So. Let's Just Have A Good Time.

When ''night, Mother' Opened, I Did Not Know How Long It Would Be Before I Would Have Another Show On Broadway.

There Is No Point In Trying To Remember Your Dreams ... There Is Only The Unspeakable Joy Of Eavesdropping On Your Spirit, Catching Tiny Glimpses Of Its Independent Life, Resting For A Moment In Its Wisdom, Puzzling, Laughing Sometimes, Over What It's Up To, What It Makes Of You.
