“My feeling about young people who want to pursue a career is - the first thing is do your homework on where it all started. Go back and look at history. Look at why the shows you are loving today happened and the artists you are listening to happened. And do your homework on history.

And then, that way you will have an understanding of why, now, certain movies, certain plays, certain musicals are making some sort of sense.” PeopleWayWantFirstsLooksPlayShowsFeelingsTodayYoungArtistCertainUnderstandingCareersHappenedListeningMusicalPursueBroadwayHomeworkBroadway MusicalWhy Now Author:Lorna Luft

“What I bring to the interview is respect. The person recognizes that you respect them because you're listening. Because you're listening, they feel good about talking to you. When someone tells me a thing that happened, what do I feel inside? I want to get the story out. It's for the person who reads it to have the feeling . . . In most cases the person I encounter is not a celebrity; rather the ordinary person. "Ordinary" is a word I loathe. It has a patronizing air.
