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

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

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

What musicals need is a new me.

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