I Had No Idea How Difficult Sondheim's Music Would Be. All Through The Rehearsals, I Kept Flubbing. There Were So Many Tempo Changes. I Could Never Get Through The Opening Number Without Any Mistakes. One Day, I Went Up To Hal Prince And Offered To Leave The Show. He Laughed It Off. He Said, Don't Be Silly. That's Why We Have Tryouts.

I go into a young film director's office these days and he says, 'Hey man, I know who you are. I grew up watching 'McHale's Navy'. And I think, 'Oh boy, here we go again'.
