Art Is Craft, Not Inspiration.

I Didn't Really Want To Write Just Lyrics, But I Wanted To Meet Leonard Bernstein. Music Was Always The First Reason I Was Writing Songs.

The Art Of Making Art, Is Putting It Together.

Work Is What You Do For Others, Liebchen. Art Is What You Do For Yourself.

If You Told Me To Write A Love Song Tonight, I'd Have A Lot Of Trouble. But If You Tell Me To Write A Love Song About A Girl With A Red Dress Who Goes Into A Bar And Is On Her Fifth Martini And Is Falling Off Her Chair, That's A Lot Easier, And It Makes Me Free To Say Anything I Want.

I Do Not Hope For What I Cannot Have! I Do Not Cling To Things I Cannot Keep!
