jesus thinking people
People in Britain always think of 'Jesus Christ Superstar' as a musical - it wasn't.
relationship thinking theatre
I guess we've had a very close relationship because I don't pretend to know about cinema and I think I do know a bit about theatre but he does, he respected that and so we really just had a collaboration which went completely like this.
writing care want
As a composer at a point where I can absolutely pick and choose what I want to do, I don't want to write about anybody I don't care about.
writing thinking piano
I often think of random melodies. And I pretty much hear in my head what I want to do with the orchestra as I'm writing on the piano.
night light faces
Slowly, gently, night unfurls its splendor.Grasp it; sense it - tremulous and tender.Turn your face away from the garish light of day, turn your thoughts away from cold, unfeeling light - and listen to the music of the night !
beautiful lying believe
Look with your heart and not with your eyes. The heart understands. The heart never lies. Believe what it feels, and trust what it shows. Look with your heart; the heart always knows. Love is not always beautiful, not at the start. But open your arms, and close your eyes tight. Look with your heart and when it finds love, your heart will be right.
mistake thinking ideas
Nobody seems to think it's a good idea to mention mistakes, but I think it's important to acknowledge the mistakes you've made in life, because it's really through those that you learn things. I've made hundreds....
believe matter catchy
No matter what they tell you, no matter what they do, no matter what they teach you, what you believe is true.
casting gone jack man michael nicholson resonance route slightly
I think Michael Crawford realised, I think we all realised, once we'd gone the route of casting a very young girl, you can't really cast a 65 year old man opposite. Slightly different resonance I think. No, we weren't going to go there. We'd have Jack Nicholson in the lead.
develops muscles time
Because her voice is, it's like the muscles and it develops all the time. That was the fantastic thing for us.
bring cast gerry keen music
I said, look, do you think you could bring Gerry through, and they said yeah, absolutely, they thought that. Joel was very keen to cast him. If all my music team were happy, I was happy.
britain converted itself score
'Phantom of the Opera' started in my little 100-seater converted church in Britain with a stage where we did what we did. But it was the score itself was what made it.
asked difference eighty favourite japan
Well the least favourite question is the one that one's asked particularly about in Japan is what's the difference between theatre and cinema and I think, well, that's about eighty bucks.
failure fine ingredient line strikes success
What strikes me is that there's a very fine line between success and failure. Just one ingredient can make the difference.
