• When people ask me what philosophy is, I say philosophy is what you do when
  you don't know what the right questions are yet. Once you get the questions
  right, then you go answer them, and that's typically not philosophy, that's
  one science or another. Anywhere in life where you find that people aren't
  quite sure what the right questions to ask are, what they're doing, then,
  is philosophy.

• When people ask me if musical theatre should be taught in music colleges, I reply that there is no need. All anyone needs to study is the second act of La Boheme because it is the most tightly constructed piece of musical theatre that there is. It is practically director-proof: you can't stage it badly because it just works too well. If you can write La Boheme, you can write anything. I would also recommend studying Britten's Peter Grimes.

• People always ask me
  "Son what does it take
  To reach out and touch your dreams?"
  To them I always say
  Are you hungry?
  Are you thirsty?
  Is it a fire that burns you up inside?
  How bad do you want it?
  How bad do you need it?
  Are you eating, sleeping, dreaming
  With that one thing on your mind?
  How bad do you want it?
  How bad do you need it?
  Cause if you want it all
  You've got to lay it all out on the line.

• My children, mark me. I pray you. Know! God loves my soul so much that his very life and being depend upon his loving me, whether he would or no. To stop God loving me would be to rob him of his Godhood; for God is love no less than he is truth; as he is good, so is he love as well. It is the absolute truth, as God lives... If anyone would ask me what God is, I should answer: God is love, and so altogether lovely that creatures all with one accord essay to love his loveliness, whether they do so knowingly or unbeknownst, in joy or sorrow.
