I think writing for a world one has invented can be infinitely more interesting than writing for the world we've all inherited.

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've tried in my career to do most everything, because it all intrigues me. And I've found the first time I work in a new form, I discover all the things that make that an exciting medium. I've been very busy most of my career. I've had very few vacations.

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

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