I'm such a goody two-shoes, I've never stolen a single thing. I would not be able to handle it. I would not be able to live with the guilt of having stolen something.

Don't wait for people to tell you who you are. Show them.

I think it's good to have an old fashioned musical as well as new musicals. There's a lot of room for different shows.

Each man creates god in his own image.
