It's quite an interesting time, the '20s, because the politics of England were changing quite a lot, and the class structure was starting to shift a little.

I think it's kind of nice, in this day and age of instant gratification, that you have to wait for something.

It seems like pop singing has sort of influenced musical theatre in so many ways - you could argue good or bad, really - and musical theatre is written for that style so often, which is a completely different style.

New York seems to be absolutely filled with brilliant people.

I still buy CDs and DVDs, but generally for more obscure material.

I just love New York, I love the people. The energy of the place. I really feel energized working here. I've always been made to feel very welcome, and it's a tremendous city.

I feel that doing theater does give you a good grounding to work on camera. The audience is the lens.
