More From Jerome Lawrence

Someone once asked me why people sing. i answered that they sing for many of the same reasons the birds sing. they sing for a mate, to claim their territory, or simply to give voice to the delight of being alive in the midst of a beautiful day. perhaps more than the birds do, humans hold a grudge. they sing to complain of how grievously they have been wronged, and how to avoid it in the future. they sing to help themselves execute a job of work. they sing so the subsequent generations won’t forget what the current generation endured, or dreamed, or delighted in.

Somebody/ anybody sing a black girl's song bring her out to know herself to know you but sing her rhythms carin/ struggle/ hard times sing her song of life she's been dead so long closed in silence so long she doesn't know the sound of her own voice her infinite beauty she's half-notes scattered without rhythm/ no tune sing her sighs sing the song of her possibilities sing a righteous gospel let her be born let her be born & handled warmly.

The cartoon me writes the books cartoon people read in the cartoon world, because they need things to read there too.

One way to escape the universe in which everything is a kind of media cartoon is to write about the part of your life that doesn't feel like a cartoon, and how the cartoon comes into it.

If someone said, "here, you have your pick, you can do either a musical, moulin rouge type of movie, where you sing and dance, or an action movie, or a shakespearian or elizabethan movie," i would definitely love to do a movie that was based on a musical, where i would get to sing, dance and act, all at the same time.

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. whether it's musical movies, musical plays, broadway musical recordings - do your homework! and then, that way you will have an understanding of why, now, certain movies, certain plays, certain musicals are making some sort of sense.
