VIDEO: Andrew Lloyd Webber Reflects on His Long Career on CBS This Morning

Andrew Lloyd Webber, the iconic composer, made an appearance on CBS This Morning to talk about his long career and what drives him to keep creating music.

"I sort of seem to have got more energy at the moment than I think I can ever remember," Lloyd Webber said, just after his 70th birthday. "And I'm desperately wanting to find a new show to write."

In a way his career still feels surreal to him.

"When I think of the little school concert on a Friday afternoon in the rain, with bored parents thinking, 'We want to get home. Let's get out of here before the rush hour.' And then thinking to where I am now, I can't believe it," he said.
