Success Is Always Something That You Have

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.'

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.

People Do Think That If They Avoid The Truth, It Might Change To Something Better Before They Have To Hear It.

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.

I'm Just Not Having A Very Good Time And I Don't Have Any Reason To Think It'll Get Anything But Worse. I'm Tired. I'm Hurt. I'm Sad. I Feel Used.
