Harold Prince
It's a terrible shame if you're born the brightest guy in your class. If you're not, then you have to hustle-and that's good.
Harold Prince
I saw 'On The Town' about nine times. I discovered it. I loved it. I was in college.
Harold Prince
A star may guarantee business, but the tradeoff is a very short run.
