I've never had a very great public life.

The musical is the one area of the theater that can give you the biggest buzz of all.

My dream is to be on my boat. Or on an island. Or in my house in the country. That's my dream.

My own tastes happen to be in tune with what the public wants. I think that's the reason my batting average is so high, not because I've discovered some brilliant formula.

Constrained circumstances can bring the best out of you.

It horrifies me how much it costs to put on shows now, mainly due to EU regulations. The freedom to be entrepreneurial is no longer there. It's a massive business now.

I never know what is going to have that 'X' factor and what isn't.
