This is from a 2007 podcast interview with Sondheim, conducted by Norman Lebrecht (a name I hate to even type).

Lebrecht (discussing Passion): Meryle Secrest, in your biography, suggests that it’s to do with the coming of love in your life, a powerful intimate relationship in your sixties. Is . . . . ?

Sondheim (interrupting him): That’s completely nonsense because I wanted to do that show long before that ever happened to me. I saw the movie in . . . whatever year it was . . . nineteen-eighty (trailing off) . . . I’d say nineteen eighty-three. In this country anyway. I wanted to do it immediately.

It's hard to punctuate that clearly, but Sondheim really interrupted him. NL was not at a temporary loss for words, as the ellipsis may suggest. He would have said more, but Sondheim was having none of it. He would not let that statement stand.

THANK YOU for this... I'd been thinking of the Secrest biography. That was my only source. (nm)
