If you look at my career... I couldn't possibly have chosen those subjects if I was thinking, 'That's a great commercial idea.' I'm not aware of a great musical where someone has done that.

Andrew Lloyd Webber 85 quotes

What I can't tell is, I don't...

What I can't tell is, I don't know if there's a subliminal resistance to the idea of a sequel to 'The Phantom of the Opera' anyway.

Andrew Lloyd Webber 85 quotes

Musicals are very collaborative. Unless you find somebody who wants to do something with you and has equal commitment, it's not going to work.

Andrew Lloyd Webber 85 quotes

At one point I couldn't move ...

At one point I couldn't move or get out of bed or anything. I developed blood clots because I'd been completely inactive. Then they thought - because the pain was so much - I had an infection in the bones, so they gave me pills, which gave me a tummy infection. It's like a French farce.

I remember, once I was going through Nice airport with Roger Moore, and these kids came up and asked for our autographs. Afterwards, Roger said, 'It must be very strange for you. I'm an actor, and signing autographs is part of what I do. But you're a public figure who people don't really know.' He was right.

Nothing will ever be as big as 'The Phantom of the Opera' for me.

A couple of back operations didn't cure anything, but instead, things got worse and worse and worse.

After I had prostate cancer, I had something which was misdiagnosed which led to a load of back operations.

Love changes everything. Days...

Love changes everything. Days are longer, words mean more. Love changes everything. Pain is deeper than before. Love can turn your world around, and that world will last forever.

Andrew Lloyd Webber 85 quotes

Slowly, gently, night unfurls...

Slowly, gently, night unfurls its splendor.Grasp it; sense it - tremulous and tender.Turn your face away from the garish light of day, turn your thoughts away from cold, unfeeling light - and listen to the music of the night !

Andrew Lloyd Webber 85 quotes

When people ask me if musical...

When people ask me if musical theatre should be taught in music colleges, I reply that there is no need. All anyone needs to study is the second act of La Boheme because it is the most tightly constructed piece of musical theatre that there is. It is practically director-proof: you can't stage it badly because it just works too well. If you can write La Boheme, you can write anything. I would also recommend studying Britten's Peter Grimes.

Andrew Lloyd Webber 85 quotes

Look with your heart and not ...

Look with your heart and not with your eyes. The heart understands. The heart never lies. Believe what it feels, and trust what it shows. Look with your heart; the heart always knows. Love is not always beautiful, not at the start. But open your arms, and close your eyes tight. Look with your heart and when it finds love, your heart will be right.

Andrew Lloyd Webber 85 quotes

No matter what they tell you,...

No matter what they tell you, no matter what they do, no matter what they teach you, what you believe is true.

Andrew Lloyd Webber 85 quotes

Nobody seems to think it's a ...

Nobody seems to think it's a good idea to mention mistakes, but I think it's important to acknowledge the mistakes you've made in life, because it's really through those that you learn things. I've made hundreds.

Andrew Lloyd Webber 85 quotes

What strikes me is that there...

What strikes me is that theres a very fine line between success and failure. Just one ingredient can make the difference.

Andrew Lloyd Webber 85 quotes

Think of me, think of me fond...

Think of me, think of me fondly When we've said goodbye. Remember me once in a while Please promise me, you'll try. Recall those days, look back on all those times, Think of those things we'll never do. There will never be a day When I won't think of you. Can it be? Can it be Christine? Long ago, it seems so long ago, How young and innocent we were. She may not remember me But I remember her.

Andrew Lloyd Webber 85 quotes

Well we'd just seen Gerry. I ...

Well we'd just seen Gerry. I think he wanted somebody who had that authority and was handsome. The thing is, he's a big hunk isn't he? All I can say, if you look at his chat line, or the Phantom website, it's quite worrying. Because the girls really seem to love him.

Andrew Lloyd Webber 85 quotes

I think it's probably, musica...

I think it's probably, musically, probably the most sophisticated. ("The Woman in White") There's a lot more daring harmony in it than in some of my pieces... 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?... Sondheim is absolutely wonderful and Alan Jay Lerner was wonderful.
