I feel very fortunate to have been associated with people such as Rodgers and Hammerstein. I think they were geniuses of their time. ↗

It's great to see that celebrities can be just like us - that they too have their highs and lows, that they don't always wake up looking their best, that they have bad habits and annoying traits. ↗

The musicals had a good, happy feeling, saying that the world is a better place. They say it's not reality, but who cares? There's too much reality these days. ↗
