The regrets in the theatre have always been the shows that you know ought to have worked but for one reason or another haven'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.

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.

Love changes everything. Days are longer, words mean more. Love changes everything. Pain is deeper than before. Love can turn your world around, and that world will last forever.

All I've ever tried to do is get the best out of people and to bring a bit of humour into it. Unlike, say, 'The X-Factor,' which may be great TV, but has no humour at all.

No matter what they tell you, no matter what they do, no matter what they teach you, what you believe is true.

Love can make a summer fly, or a night seem like a lifetime.
