It's all part of my journey - I've done a lot of stupid things, but you learn by your mistakes.

I'm hoping to do a Broadway musical on the life of Rasputin. He's someone I can definitely identify with.

Freddie is great. At a time when everybody around was doing God knows what, Queen was making music.

I was curious, given the swimming pools of booze I’ve guzzled over the years - not to mention all of the cocaine, morphine, sleeping pills, cough syrup, LSD, Rohypnol… there’s really no plausible medical reason why I should still be alive. Maybe my DNA could say why.

The ministry of fear that won't let you live. The ministry of grace that doesn't forgive.

For years I've had neurological problems. I used to shake a lot and I was on medication - I paid about $700,000 for one year of pills. I was taking 40-odd different ones a day.

The Beatles. I didn't like the first couple of songs, but when I heard "She Loves You', it was like something went off in my head.
