"I wasn't really a performer by temperament. I can't imagine Rex Harrison doing the same My Fair Lady every night for years. That would drive me crazy.
"I didn't feel the need for anonymous affection, for people in the dark applauding. To me, it would be like writing a novel and then getting up every night and reading your novel. Everything I did is on the record and, if you want to hear it, just listen to the record."
-- Tom Lehrer, in a 2003 interview in the Sydney Morning Herald (interviewer: Tony Davis)
