“As a parent who works in showbiz, you never really want your child to ...” — Stephen Schwartz Quote

As a parent who works in showbiz, you never really want your child to go into it.

I had always been interested in opera, going back to my college days at Carnegie Mellon. In my last year there, I even wrote a one-act opera, which was pretty terrible.

I think I learned a lot from each project that I do. I've been fortunate that some of the shows that I've been involved with that were not initially successful, I've been given the opportunity to revisit and revamp.

I'm very good at and enjoy writing angry songs, and 'Lost in the Wilderness' was when I started to first harness that kind of songwriting and writing out of a place of anger.

What am I doing in this silly showbiz life? I do wonder that sometimes.

Anyone in showbiz rock 'n' roll who says they're so tired of playing their hit songs, I want to smack them. I think it's an act. Because, look, you work your tail off to get people to validate you.

My showbiz career started with 'SNL,' and to write an 'SNL' book... well, there are already enough of those.

I'm a fan of people that have quality, that do what they do, and that are not into the showbiz.

Sitcom food is by far the tastiest of all showbiz food.
