A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
音乐
Musical
If I wrote a musical it wouldn't be about me. Although I do some magic, so it would probably be about a magician who appeared and re-appeared all over the place.
如果我写音乐剧,就不会是关于我自己的。虽然我也会变魔术,所以很可能是关于一个魔术师,他一次又一次地出现在这个地方。
I think that if you're doing a new musical, you want to have the opportunity to experiment and try things without the whole city of critics looking over your shoulder.
我认为,如果你在创作一部新的音乐剧,你想要有机会去尝试,而不是让整个城市的评论家都盯着你看。
A lot of the songs are written on piano or guitar, so I contribute, and I have done so since the beginning. So it's been good to be involved completely musically as well.

The problem is that I don't want to add another record to the world that is not necessary to be published, except to make some business. There has to be a musical reason.

I had an older brother who was very interested in literature, so I had an early exposure to literature, and and theater. My father sometimes would work in musical comedies.

I'll come in with a string of riffs and direct the musical ideas. But you still need a band and their input to make the ideas come alive. You can't underestimate band chemistry.

I remember seeing the first Astaire-Rogers musical on television, and I couldn't believe how beautiful it was. It dawned on me that you don't have to wear a cowboy hat to be a man.

I told her it was a bigger than life musical, that all the actors were going to be about the same age, late twenties into thirties. It would be a style; a kind of surreal high school.

And my father was a comic. He could play any musical instrument. He loved to perform. He was a wonderfully comedic character. He had the ability to dance and sing and charm and analyze poetry.

I'd rather have a hundred thousand or a million people saying I'm nuts and I'm crazy for my musical choices and what I've said lyrically, than a million people all raising their hand on the first day.
我宁愿有十万人或一百万人说我疯了,我为我的音乐选择和我的歌词而疯狂,也不愿意有一百万人在第一天就举手。
One very important aspect of our contemporary musical culture - some might say the supremely important aspect - is its extension in the historical and geographical senses to a degree unknown in the past.
我们当代音乐文化的一个非常重要的方面——有些人可能会说极其重要的方面——是它在历史和地理意义上的扩展,在过去是未知的。

To me, music shouldn't be ego-driven. When you go out on stage and play songs, it is. But when you're sitting in a room, writing songs, it's a completely different process. It's a completely different place. It's acreative place, a musical place. It has nothing to do with who likes what.
对我来说,音乐不应该是自我驱动的。当你在舞台上演奏歌曲时,它就是。但当你坐在一个房间里,写歌,这是一个完全不同的过程。这是一个完全不同的地方。这是一个有创造力的地方,一个音乐的地方。这与谁喜欢什么无关。
