QUOTES

  • Billy Alessi: (giving advice on moving on after a relationship has ended) Breaking up can be the most difficult thing on earth, and you may feel that you no longer have reason to live, but that's not true; there's always love in everyone's future, if you give yourself the chance you can really love someone else. edit »
  • Bobby Alessi (laughing as he discussed their early career in writing commercial jingles): We'd just go in once in a while and do a couple to get some checks in the mail, but we never took the jingles work too seriously. edit »
  • Billy Alessi (discussing their performance in the Broadway musical Hair): It gave us our first real 'city' experience and enabled us to meet some very talented and creative people. edit »
