My favorite expression is: When you go up to the bell, ring it? or don’t go up to the bell Picture Quote #1

I usually start with the words. The rhythm of the words gives me the rhythm of the song, and then I look for the musical highlights in it to carry it Picture Quote #1

My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives Picture Quote #1

All short women have a delayed fuse. Marry a taller woman: My wife was an inch or two taller than me; it’s a sign of security Picture Quote #1

I know how to make it a great musical. I’ve got to. It’s like I’ve got to see it on stage Picture Quote #1

I’ll accept bad taste in a minute, as long as there’s some great comedy minds and performances Picture Quote #1

Humor keeps the elderly rolling along, singing a song. When you laugh, its an involuntary explosion of the lungs. The lungs need to replenish themselves with oxygen. So you laugh, you breathe, the blood runs, and everything is circulating. If you don’t laugh, youll die Picture Quote #1

It would be hypocritical of me to take issue with anything in questionable taste, seeing that I invented bad taste in films Picture Quote #1

No creative writer knows what is commercial and what isn’t. You just write from your heart, you write from the deepest, creative urges in you, and you write from your soul, and you just either get lucky or not Picture Quote #1

Creative people should always be striving, they should always be hungry, they should be looking for the next place to go Picture Quote #1

Basically, I’m a writer. I’m the proprietor of the vision. I alone know what I eventually want to happen on the screen. So if you have a valuable idea, the only way to protect it is to direct it Picture Quote #1

Directing is a terrible, anxious process. It’s all collaboration, and if you have a dream, it’s diluted very quickly by the slightest ineptness in any of your collaborators. They’re supposed to help you, but too often they help you into your grave Picture Quote #1

I wanted to entertain so badly that I kept at it until I was good. I just browbeat my way into show business Picture Quote #1
