“It's all about the audience and the people who support your work and respond to it. So, anytime I hear that 'Next to Normal' is affecting people, it goes beyond my wildest dreams of what I set out to do when I started to write 'Next to Normal.'”
“Green Day were heroes of mine growing up.”
“I was inspired to be a singer/songwriter from an early age.”
“In the back of my mind, when we were developing 'Next to Normal,' I always heard Alice Ripley.”
“Alice Ripley was someone who had had a huge effect on me when I had gotten out of college and decided that this was the road I wanted to take - to write musicals.”
“I'm very influenced by the work of George Martin and the string arrangements that he did for the Beatles.”
“'American Idiot' is not only one of my favorite albums of all time, it's become an anthem of a generation.”
“My love of Green Day is on so many levels. It's their genius for songwriting, the fact that they write about very important subjects, both personal and political, and they're just a timeless band.”
