I always find music guys writing about love. Think of something else for a change. I`m sorry, but it`s been done, and it does work and it`s good and all that, but I think something else would be nice. I tend not to write lyrics, cause I`m a bad lyricist. ...

[On playing "Vera Charles" in Mame (1974)] You know, the real name of this show is "Vera". The only reason they changed the name was because Jerry [lyricist Jerry Herman] couldn`t think of a rhyme for it. Stephen Sondheim could have.

J.D. has a slightly dangerous edge and will bring a sense of spontaneity to our live show, ... In addition, he has both the star quality we were looking for and is an inspired lyricist. I think he`ll grow with us on all levels.

I feel like I want to write some songs and I don`t know how to go about doing it. Usually it`s the lyrics that are a problem, and I think I am not really cut out to be a lyricist.
Mike Gordon
As a songwriter, I was influenced by David Bowie - a great writer. A class above everybody in so many ways. Lennon and McCartney, of course. Class stuff. David Cousins was my favorite lyricist.
