stephen sondheim - "i've often been asked why i don't write..." lyrics

Loading...

[stephen sondheim, spoken]
i’ve often been asked why don’t i write my own librettos, because often the songs seem to be libretto+like songs. and there are two reasons. the first, and more important one, is that i think playwriting is too difficult and i don’t think i could ever write a play.

second, however, is i love collaborations. and it may be because i’m an only child, and i miss the family that you get—i would miss the family that you get when you’re working with someone. even if it’s just one other person, it’s like having a brother. or if it’s two or three other people, it’s like having a small family. and the putting on of a musical, you get that family feeling. and that gives me a great deal of courage to go on. and it also gives me a feeling of warmth and, and, you know, to put it as a cliché, the show is like having a baby. and it’s something you make and you nurture and you give life to. so that’s why i love collaborations.
