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.

Kerry Ellis

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

Pete Townshend

It's great when it all comes together in a great musical like 'Sweeney Todd,' when Stephen Sondheim writes songs from heaven, the book is good and the staging is good. But it's very rare when that happens.

Dennis DeYoung

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

I saw "Follies" again at thirty, and you know, I had this great appreciation for [Stephen] Sondheim's brilliance, his lyrics.

Charles Busch

Stephen Sondheim told me that Oscar Hammerstein believed everything that he wrote. So there's great truth in the songs, and that's what was so wonderful to find.

Bernadette Peters

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?

Michael Showalter

That's one of the beauties of James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim and their work together. They have such a depth to the emotional exploration of the story that they're telling, but there's always a release, and the release is a laugh.

Annaleigh Ashford

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

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

Marc Platt

That's the only show where, if anyone says to me, 'Is there a role you want to play?', I say, yeah, I want to play Sweeney Todd. Stephen Sondheim's so clever; it's a profoundly brilliant piece of work.

Michael Ball

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

Bernadette Peters

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

As a person, Stephen Sondheim is a very funny, very dry and very shy man. I've never witnessed any diva-ish moments, he just always seems so thrilled people are doing his work.
