Someday, when I'm awfully low, and the world is cold, I will feel a glow just thinking of you, and the way you look tonight.

When the uncreative tell the creative what to do, it stops being art.
Interpretation
Creativity should be free and uninhibited; advice from the uncreative can stifle artistic expression.
The quote emphasizes the importance of creative freedom in the arts.

I search for different tonalities in my taps. But my greatest pleasure is hearing a note I haven't heard before, hearing a chord that sparks something new.
Why, if 'tis dancing you would be, There's brisker pipes than poetry. Say, for what were hop-yards meant, Or why was Burton built on Trent?
