While human nature largely determines how we hear the notes, it is nurture that lets us hear the music.
One reason I left local news was that I was tired of the constant musical chairs among news directors.
I’ll read my books and I’ll drink coffee and I’ll listen to music, and I’ll bolt the door." ( : CCXVII, March 31, 1945)
God is a sound frequency, and we can all tune in if we just listen. Some find The Rhythm through different melodies, but it's all music.
On the grounds of prestigious musical organizations that come and go, New York has the edge.
When I was 17, I worked at a bagel shop - I ate so many! I was also in all the school musicals, which we rehearsed for during the afternoons.
Yeah, well I've always played comedy. My background is musical comedy theatre and that's really where my training is. As an actor, that's my training.
I think that what we were doing with the live musical version of 'Shrek' was taking the ideas and the structure of the movie and not necessarily reinventing it but reimagining it. It is a very different medium to perform.

Good film, television, or music keeps you awake, anxious for the next movement or act, and wanting more when it is finished.
I'm not really a big musical fan. I enjoyed 'West Side Story' when it came out, but it gets a bit tired in the end.
If you're going to make a musical, don't cartoon it from the play. Make it better than the play. Have a reason for making it sing.
Hearing that the same men who brought us 'South Park' were mounting a musical to be called 'The Book of Mormon,' we were tempted to turn away, as from an inevitable massacre.
I was a little bit wary of playing Nicholas. In the script, which I think is true of the novel and the film, he's the only character not singing and dancing in a musical style. Playing someone who is the personification of good is a little difficult.
I wish I had the guts and talent to be a good comedian. I love the idea of it, yet I'm terrified of it. I'd also love to play music in front of people.
Theatre is about the collective imagination... Everything I use on-stage is driven by the subject matter and what you might call the text - but that text can be anything, from a fragment of movement or music to something you see on a TV.
