The irrepressible Elaine Stritch has a few words to say about nearly everything, but mostly about Sondheim and singing.
"No Sondheim song comes easy to me. You depend on Rodgers and Hart for that. Those songs have easy brilliance. Stephen Sondheim gives you complicated brilliance. But once you get him, you got him. He makes you think a little bit. But those hours in a rehearsal room learning a song—those hours are rough. After that, it's a joy. It's like having a baby, it's like with anything that's worthwhile."
I hope I'm still that sharp when I'm her age.

Just keep living the clean life like, Elaine. :)
