I do feel more myself in America. I can regress there, and they have roller-coaster parks.

I have a photograph at home of Fred Astaire from the knees down with his feet crossed. It's kind of inspiring because it reminds me his feet were bleeding at the end of rehearsals. Yet when you watch him, all you see is freedom. It's a reminder of what the job is about in general, not just being in musicals.

I'm always aware of the camera and it feels like that's the audience.

I approach every part I'm asked to do and decide to do from exactly the same angle: who is this person, what does he want, how does he attempt to get it, and what happens to him when he doesn't get it, or if he does?

England in the '60s and the '70s was everything that history has said; it was phenomenally exciting, musically.

It is an ancient need to be told stories. But the story needs a great storyteller. Thanks for all of it, Jo.
