Famous quotes by Stephen Sondheim:

"Sondheim Sings: Volume II (1946-60)."

"I was raised to be charming, not sincere."

"The concerts you enjoy together neighbors you annoy together children you destroy together that make marriage a joy"

"The fact is popular art dates. It grows quaint. How many people feel strongly about Gilbert and Sullivan today compared to those who felt strongly in 1890?"

"Musical comedies aren't written, they are rewritten."

"One difference between poetry and lyrics is that lyrics sort of fade into the background. They fade on the page and live on the stage when set to music."

"It ain't just a question of misunderstood, Deep down inside him, he's no good"

"Sometimes people leave you halfway through the woods. Do not let it grieve you, no one leaves for good"

"I prefer neurotic people. I like to hear rumblings beneath the surface."

"I chose and my world was shaken. So what? The choice may have been mistaken; the choosing was not. You have to move on."

"Math and music are intimately related. Not necessarily on a conscious level, but sure."

"One of the hardest things about writing lyrics is to make the lyrics sit on the music in such a way that you're not aware there was a writer there."

"Gotta watch out for directors."

"I really don't want to write a score until the whole show is cast and staged."

"If you're dealing with a musical in which you're trying to tell a story, it's got to sound like speech. At the same time it's got to be a song."

"A close-up on screen can say all a song can."

"Musicals are, by nature, theatrical, meaning poetic, meaning having to move the audience's imagination and create a suspension of disbelief, by which I mean there's no fourth wall."

"After the Rodgers and Hammerstein revolution, songs became part of the story, as opposed to just entertainments in between comedy scenes."

"On stage, generally speaking, the story is stopped or held back by songs, because that's the convention. Audiences enjoy the song and the singer, that's the point."

"I'm interested in the theater because I'm interested in communication with audiences. Otherwise I would be in concert music."

Sondheim, Stephen Filmography

Famous quotes by Stephen Sondheim:

"Sondheim Sings: Volume II (1946-60)."

"I was raised to be charming, not sincere."

"The concerts you enjoy together neighbors you annoy together children you destroy together that make marriage a joy"

"The fact is popular art dates. It grows quaint. How many people feel strongly about Gilbert and Sullivan today compared to those who felt strongly in 1890?"

"Musical comedies aren't written, they are rewritten."

"One difference between poetry and lyrics is that lyrics sort of fade into the background. They fade on the page and live on the stage when set to music."

"It ain't just a question of misunderstood, Deep down inside him, he's no good"

"Sometimes people leave you halfway through the woods. Do not let it grieve you, no one leaves for good"

"I prefer neurotic people. I like to hear rumblings beneath the surface."

"I chose and my world was shaken. So what? The choice may have been mistaken; the choosing was not. You have to move on."

"Math and music are intimately related. Not necessarily on a conscious level, but sure."

"One of the hardest things about writing lyrics is to make the lyrics sit on the music in such a way that you're not aware there was a writer there."

"Gotta watch out for directors."

"I really don't want to write a score until the whole show is cast and staged."

"If you're dealing with a musical in which you're trying to tell a story, it's got to sound like speech. At the same time it's got to be a song."

"A close-up on screen can say all a song can."

"Musicals are, by nature, theatrical, meaning poetic, meaning having to move the audience's imagination and create a suspension of disbelief, by which I mean there's no fourth wall."

"After the Rodgers and Hammerstein revolution, songs became part of the story, as opposed to just entertainments in between comedy scenes."

"On stage, generally speaking, the story is stopped or held back by songs, because that's the convention. Audiences enjoy the song and the singer, that's the point."

"I'm interested in the theater because I'm interested in communication with audiences. Otherwise I would be in concert music."
