LORENZ HART

I took one look at you That's all I meant to do And my heart stood still.

When love congeals It soon reveals The faint aroma of performing seals, The double-crossing of a pair of heels. I wish I were in love again!

The lovely loving and the hateful hates.

Painters of paintings, writers of books, never could tell the half.

Wide awake I can make my most fantastic dreams come true.

How we love sequestering, where no pests are pestering.

Hate California--it's cold and it's damp.

Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I.

Wide awake I can make my most fantastic dreams come true.

Unrequited love's a bore.

I'm a great believer in conversational rhythm. I think in terms of rhythmic dialogue. It's so easy, you can talk naturally. It's like peas rolling off a knife. Take the great screen actors and actresses, Bette Davis, Eddie Robinson, Jimmy Cagney, Spencer Tracy. They all talk in rhythm. And rhythm and movement are the life of the screen.

I get too hungry for dinner at eight. I like the theater, but never come late. I never bother with people I hate. That's why the lady is a tramp.
