Quotes by Stephen Sondheim on art and theatre

“All the best performers bring to their role something more, something different than what the author put on paper. That’s what makes theatre live. That’s why it persists.”

“Art, in itself, is an attempt to bring order out of chaos.”

“I’m a great audience. I cry very easily. I suspend disbelief in two seconds.”

“When I was growing up, there was no such thing as Off-Broadway. You either got your show on or you didn’t.”
