“There are wonderful composers and librettists out there. It's the lack...” — Harold Prince Quote

“There are wonderful composers and librettists out there. It's the lack of creative producers that is troubling.”

“I've seen a lot of 'Show Boats,' but I've never seen the one that thoroughly satisfies me.”

“Producers want to put their music behind revivals but I don't think that's a good trend for the theater at all.”

“I want young Indian composers to be able to do more than just film music. I want to give them the skills that will enable them to create their own palette of sounds instead of having to write formulaic music. It doesn't matter if they become sound engineers, producers, composers or performers - I want them to be as imaginative as they like.”

“Composers now just don't have the depth of inspiration for melody. Most of the lyrics of the pop songs you hear today are repetitious. They're almost nursery rhymes, as if written by children - which they are.”
