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 Read Quote
The regrets in the theatre have always been the shows that you know ought to have worked but for one reason or another haven’t. Andrew Lloyd Webber Read Quote
