I was a student in London in the '70s, so CBGB really wasn't on my radar at all. Obviously, I was aware of the emergence of the Police in England and as an art student, I was very aware of David Byrne, but I suppose my musical taste at that time certainly didn't stretch towards the Dead Boys or the Ramones.

In theater, you've got to be aware of your whole body because it involves stamina. It involves two-and-a-half hours and a sustained release of energy, maybe for six months.

I have this feeling that if I could sort out what's on my dining room table, everything would fall into place.

You try to find things that are challenging and interesting and hopefully it will be the same to the audience.

My idea of a real treat is Magic Mountain without standing in line.

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

You can act truthfully or you can lie. You can reveal things about yourself or you can hide. Therefore, the audience recognizes something about themselves or they don't -- You hope they don't leave the theatre thinking that was nice...now where's the cab?'
