When the audition for 'Cats' came up, even though I'd been making pop records, it felt like something I was attracted to.

Life is too complex to compress into soundbites. Every situation is different.

When the audition for 'Cats' came up, even though I'd been making pop records, it felt like something I was attracted to.

When I sing, I close my eyes. If I see a feather, everything is fine. Without this image in my mind, the sound is not 'truthful' enough and I must begin again. I have to.

Some people want to give money to their children, buy houses, go on a holiday - whatever it is that they want to invest in. This particular journey has been something that I wanted to do most of my life, but there was no real opportunity to do so.

I love the intimacy of making movies. The focus is deeper and much more intense than musical theatre.

I love a challenge and the last four years it has all come to fruition and it has been wonderful.
