I'll Accept Bad Taste In A Minute,

I Know How To Make It A Great Musical. I've Got To. It's Like I've Got To See It On Stage.

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.

Anybody Can Direct, But There Are Only Eleven Good Writers.

As Far As Songwriters, I've Always Been A Fan Of Irving Berlin, Cole Porter, And George Gershwin; Those Guys Mean A Lot To Me.

My Mother Is Very Short - Four-eleven. She Could Walk Under Tables And Never Hit Her Head.
