Everybody in the world has problems, and the nice thing about entertainment is you get to forget about those problems and have a good time for a couple of hours. ”

We started out a long time ago, and we've managed to just keep writing current songs and have No. 1 current records. ”

Every time you're on stage, you look out at a packed house, people all the way up to the top, people having a blast, everybody forgetting about the world for a couple hours. That's a special thing. ”

When you're on tour with the band, it's a different mentality. You don't sightsee because you're making sure you can do the show. But in musicals, I don't have to sing or play: I just have to use my brain, and the rest of the time, I'm free. ”

I'm in a very successful band. We all love each other. It ain't ever breaking up. I also have a terrific hobby that became a full-time job. My only problem? There's not enough time to sleep in my world. ”

Glass and wearable technology is an example of another step in consumer-facing innovation that will change how we share the music experience with our fans in the future. ”

A musical is really one of the most complicated beasts. It's a play, and there's music... and there's dancing... it's unbelievably satisfying to get something up out of your brain onto a piece of paper ... and start the process and then see it on the stage. ”

We thought the hardest thing in the world was to get a record deal, then the hardest was to get a No. 1 record, and then the hardest thing is to stay at the top. It's a lot of work. ”

Any honor is an honor. You can't really say which one is better than the next, but it's always wonderful when you're honored by your peers for your work. ”

When we get on stage, naturally, you just get out there and work it as hard as you humanly possibly can do it. ”
