My love of musical theater wa...

My love of musical theater was certainly not typical. I mean, it was considered to be very, very abnormal, in fact!

Andrew Lloyd Webber 85 quotes

We don't have butlers. Obviously we have people who look after the houses, but I try not to run things formally.

Andrew Lloyd Webber 85 quotes

I think back at the time, if ...

I think back at the time, if it had been 1988, I would have thought Michael and Sarah probably would have been cast but I don't think, I think it's much better that the girl is younger and if Sarah would have been 26 or 27 then.

'The Phantom of the Opera' is the biggest thing I've ever done, bigger even than 'Cats' which, in itself, I never thought we'd top.

Andrew Lloyd Webber 85 quotes

I don't know what really make...

I don't know what really makes a great musical or not. In the end, you write it, and you write it because you want to write it.

Andrew Lloyd Webber 85 quotes

I began to think, now is the time. I found quite a lot of opposition in Hollywood about the idea of doing a film musical and we ended up having to buy the rights back. I'm glad we did because it meant John and I were able to make exactly the movie we wanted.

Here's the truth. The propose...

Here's the truth. The proposed top rate of income tax is not 50 per cent. It is 50 per cent plus 1.5 per cent national insurance paid by employees plus 13.3 per cent paid by employers. That's not 50 per cent. Two years from now, Britain will have the highest tax rate on earned income of any developed country.

The moment the doctor said he...

The moment the doctor said he wanted to do a biopsy, in my heart I thought I'd probably got it. But I also know a lot of people who have also had prostate cancer, so I had a reasonably good idea what to expect.

Andrew Lloyd Webber 85 quotes

I'm a composer, and therefore...

I'm a composer, and therefore I know when I've written a good tune. When you've written a good song is when you know that the lyric is completely coalesced with the song.

People like to put you into a box. I'm afraid I don't sit in a box.

Andrew Lloyd Webber 85 quotes

We felt we had to know something of his back story. I don't think people in the cinema would just accept that he's there. I think we had to learn how he (got there).

Andrew Lloyd Webber 85 quotes

'The Phantom of the Opera' is...

'The Phantom of the Opera' is about love. It's as simple as that.

Andrew Lloyd Webber 85 quotes

Well the least favourite ques...

Well the least favourite question is the one that one's asked particularly about in Japan is what's the difference between theatre and cinema and I think, well, that's about eighty bucks.

Andrew Lloyd Webber 85 quotes

Surely, you go to the theater...

Surely, you go to the theater because you want to have a great evening in the theater.

Andrew Lloyd Webber 85 quotes

I guess we've had a very clos...

I guess we've had a very close relationship because I don't pretend to know about cinema and I think I do know a bit about theatre but he does, he respected that and so we really just had a collaboration which went completely like this.

Two years ago I hadn't even thought of the Woman in White, and I was doing a television show and I said I hadn't found a story and the next day somebody rang me and said have you ever thought of the Woman in White.

Andrew Lloyd Webber 85 quotes

If you know what you want to ...

If you know what you want to do, as I always loved musicals, and then to have been lucky enough to be successful with them, I think that's all you can ask isn't it? I think I don't really think too much about it. I am a bit shy socially, yeah, I admit that.

Andrew Lloyd Webber 85 quotes

I think Michael Crawford real...

I think Michael Crawford realised, I think we all realised, once we'd gone the route of casting a very young girl, you can't really cast a 65 year old man opposite. Slightly different resonance I think. No, we weren't going to go there. We'd have Jack Nicholson in the lead.

Music, architecture and pictures have always been my passions, and all that material wealth has meant for me, is being able to have some of the pictures I liked.

Andrew Lloyd Webber 85 quotes

The next few years are going to be horrendous in the UK. The last thing we need is a Somali pirate-style raid on the few wealth creators who still dare to navigate Britain's gale-force waters.
