You Can't Have Personal Investors Anymore Because

The Only Reason To Write Is From Love.

I Like Songs That Are Part Of A Dramatic Texture, And Therefore I Like The Scenes To Be Active. I Wanna Follow The Story And That Means You Lean On The Actors.

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'm Interested In The Theater Because I'm Interested In Communication With Audiences. Otherwise I Would Be In Concert Music.

Sometimes I'll Ask The Book Writer To Write A Monologue, Not To Be Performed, Just As If They Were Notes For The Character.
