A Quote by Kerry Ellis

The thing about Stephen Schwartz is that, while it may be difficult to learn - it's a little bit like[Stephen] Sondheim; Sondheim is quite difficult to learn - but, once you have it in you: it never leaves you. It becomes some of your favorite music; it really does.

I am writing better Stephen Sondheim songs than even Stephen Sondheim is writing.

Pete Townshend

No One Is Alone by Stephen Sondheim is all about thinking for yourself and being your own person.

Bernadette Peters

Tom Kitt aside - he's in his own category with me, of course - Stephen Sondheim is one of my all-time favorite composers.

Alice Ripley

My favorite show tune has got to be Stephen Sondheim's 'I Remember Sky.' It's probably the saddest song of all time; I sing it to myself in the mirror. No, I am kidding. That's the joke.

Stephen Sondheim I am in awe of.

Christoph Waltz

There is genuine healing in a beautifully crafted musical theatre song, like Stephen Sondheim's 'Losing My Mind,' or a pop music gem like Joni Mitchell's 'Help Me.'

Alice Ripley

I'm a devotee of Stephen Sondheim. I think he's a genius.

Kenneth Branagh

I adore the work of Stephen Sondheim. I like musicales in general. They make surprisingly great running tapes.

Laura Lippman

Stephen Sondheim is calculus for actors. The words are witty and brilliant and profound but complicated.

Marc Platt

I think Stephen Sondheim is a - and I hardly ever use this word - but this is as close as it gets to a genius.

Christoph Waltz

I heard from Stephen Sondheim, who has become a great supporter of mine. There was no one bigger when I was growing up.

Randy Rainbow

Popular music of the last 50 years has failed to keep in step with advances in musical theater, namely Stephen Sondheim. But the two have grown apart so that popular music is based more than ever on a rhythmic grid that is irrelevant in musical theater. In popular music, words matter less and less. Especially now that it's so international, the fewer words the better. While theater music becomes more and more confined to a few blocks in midtown.

Stephin Merritt

To my mind, 'Dear Brutus' stands halfway between Shakespeare's 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' and Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine's 'Into the Woods'. Like them, it is a play about enchantment and disillusion, dreams and reality.

Michael Dirda

The only Train song I like is the one that I play in my act "Drops Of Jupiter". Sheryl Crow has three or four songs that I like; also Dave Matthews Band. With those particular musicians, it's more that there are a few songs that I like rather than their entire body of work. There are a lot of indie bands that I like too. I'm not a snob about music. Does the fact that I like Stephen Sondheim and Broadway musicals make me a fake? Does the fact that I'm "the Billy Joel of comedy" mean that I don't have indie-rock credibility?
