It's a rare combination to have someone who can write songs and sing well.
John Williams is, without question, talented. He writes very good scores and very good melodies and all that.

I had lunch with Andrew Lloyd Webber at the end of 2011 because my musical 'Matilda' is in one of the theatres that he owns in London.
Cole Porter wrote Anything Goes and four more hits for me.
Will.i.am is the genius of the group. He's the one that keeps everything together creatively.
To be honest, I grew up with Alan Menken's music.
David Shire and I have been happily married for 21 years! We have a 12-year-old son. David is a genius. He writes the most magnificent music and he is a devoted and loving husband and father. I am so blessed!
