It's very difficult to photograph an opera. And they messed up on it. It just wasn't there. And I don't blame the Gershwins for taking it away. Of course, if they had gotten the original company to have done it, it would have been very good.
I never met anybody in my life who says, I want to be a critic. People want to be a fireman, poet, novelist.
I thought if I could create a convincing cat I could say and do anything I wanted on the human condition.
