John Keats

The excellency of every art is its intensity, capable of making all disagreeable evaporate.

There is not a fiercer hell than the failure in a great object.

There is nothing stable in the world; uproar's your only music.

So I write melodies - thirty, forty, fifty - then I cast them off until I have just two or three. If only one is needed, I go see the director and ask him to decide.

I always dreamed of writing in an orchestral context. But when you finish a piece, you want to hear it. So we played everything with Phish.

At last we've seen the first installment of Joss Whedon's new web series, 'Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog,' and it's sweeter than we'd ever imagined.
