Stephen Sondheim
My personal life and my artistic life do not interfere with each other.
Stephen Sondheim
Tonight, tonight, won't be just any night. Tonight there will be no morning star.
Stephen Sondheim
I firmly believe lyrics have to breathe and give the audience's ear a chance to understand what's going on. Particularly in the theater, where you have costume, story, acting, orchestra.
Stephen Sondheim
My main goal is to tell a story.
Stephen Sondheim
