Cy Coleman

“You gotta have a little kiddie in you. That's what's great about this business. If you don't have a little kiddie in you, you're in the wrong business.”

“I'm a great believer in the fact that the show should be an experience.”

“I've been very lucky. I think the foundation of what I do is that I'm a jazz piano player.”

“I'm not a person who can write a song and just put it on a shelf. It has to be used.”

“What I do is bring it to a boil. Then I have a choice. I can either write a song or have a fit.”

“I always felt that the score to a musical was a story in itself.”
