I first had the thought about making a musical of 'Edwin Drood' as far back as 1971.

But thankfully, my first album, Wide Screen, was sort of a critics darling - everyone raved about it, but no one bought it. They only manufactured 10,000 copies; I wasnt even in the running for failure!

I didn't want much. I wanted much more. In fact, I wanted everything.

In all my years of performing, no audience member has ever actually assaulted me. I consider this to be the singular triumph of my performing career.

I was tired of my lady, we'd been together too long, like a worn-out recording of a favorite song.

I type even faster than I talk. I'm very proud of that. I type so fast. And I have to because the characters are living in real time and I've got to keep up with them. It's a miracle they even give me a royalty.
