Their relationship has become a sad reminder that you can have it all and still have nothing.

The tragedy of Bob Fosse was that however good he was at what he did—and he was very, very, very good—he never felt good enough.

It’s not excusing his hurtful, hedonistic behavior to observe that something is broken inside Bob Fosse.
