Musicals are — particularly musicals — plays also, but musicals particularly are… the last collaborator is your audience, and so you’ve got to wait ’til the last collaborator comes in before you can complete the collaboration.

More quotes by Stephen Sondheim

The nice thing about doing a crossword puzzle is, you know there is a solution.

Oh, if life were made of moments,
Even now and then a bad one!
But if life were only moments,
Then you'd never know you had one.

Into The Woods (1986)

I'm depraved on account of I'm deprived.

I'm a lazy writer. My idea of heaven is not writing. On the other hand, I'm obviously compulsive about it.

There's a place for us, Somewhere a place for us
Peace and quiet and open air wait for us, Somewhere.
There's a time for us, Some day a time for us
Time together with time to spare, time to look, time to care, Someday.
Somewhere we'll find a new way of living.
We'll find a way of forgiving, Somewhere.'
