Superstar was made so early in my career I had nothing to do with it at all. The first time I saw it was the opening screening.

Nobody seems to think it's a good idea to mention mistakes, but I think it's important to acknowledge the mistakes you've made in life, because it's really through those that you learn things. I've made hundreds.

I've got to find something and if I find something that I like, I'll do it. If I don't, I won't.

I'm going to take the kids away over Christmas but I don't, I've written 14 musicals now, I don't want to rush into doing something just for the sake of doing it. I want to do it when I find a story.

I don't think I am that materialistic, actually. Obviously at home in the country the art collection is important, but we have one big room in the middle of the house where we do everything - the television, the kitchen, everything.

People in Britain always think of 'Jesus Christ Superstar' as a musical - it wasn't.

Surely, you go to the theater because you want to have a great evening in the theater.
