• "We should support classical music not just because we like it, but because in a very important sense it is "better" than popular music, just as classic novels are better than the latest thriller and Old Master paintings are better than black velvet paintings. By all means enjoy popular music as well, but don't make the mistake of thinking that all art is equivalent."

• "I'd most like to be like Chad Why? His wicked perspective on life. Check out this interchange between Chad and Troy: CHAD: Look, you're a hoops dude. Not a musical singer person. Have you ever seen Michael Crawford on a cereal box? TROY: Who's Michael Crawford? CHAD: Exactly my point. He was the "Phantom of the Opera" on Broadway. Now my mom, she's seen that musical 27 times and she put Michael Crawford's picture in our refrigerator. Not on it. IN it. So my point is, if you play basketball, you'll end up on the cereal box. If you sing in musicals, you'll end up in my mom's refrigerator."
