Constrained circumstances can bring the best out of you.

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

I am in that glorious position where I can redesign and re-package my own work.

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

Audiences aren't going to get rid of me. One thing I can say, with absolute certainty, is that my shows will still be performed when I'm dead, buried and forgotten. They're going to absolutely outlive me, which is a wonderful thing to think about.

I know I'm in the exceptional position of having money but I didn't have it for many decades.

What musicals need is a new me.
