There is such a void, knowing we now suddenly live in a world without Stephen Sondheim in it. And yet, he will always be with us in his brilliant and peerless music and lyrics; a legacy for the ages.

I strongly oppose the #DontSayGay bill in Florida. I hope my friends and colleagues within the Disney family will join me in saying so publicly.

Really proud of everyone who contributed to the TANGLED series. As far as me finally reaching my official EGOT status (Howard Ashman and I did actually get an honorary Emmy back in the ‘80s), what can I say? I’m honored, thrilled and humbled. bit.ly/3jJaTnZ

These lyrics from "Colors of the Wind," the very first song Stephen Schwartz & I collaborated on, are as relevant today as they were when Pocahontas opened in theaters 30 years ago: "...if you walk the footsteps of a stranger, you'll learn things you never knew, you never knew."
