Um, musicians are funnier you know, than actors on the whole.

The dreams of youth are the regrets of maturity.

The people on the business side in the music business are kind of different from the theatre business. I think it's partly because there are different pressures on the industries.

I'm not a conventional leading man at all and have no wish to be.

I really like the way that Jack Nicholson [acts] in particular works. I like the fact that he takes enormous risks. He's an enormously disciplined actor who seems to be totally capable of dealing with the business as a business and yet drop it totally when he's working.

Even smiling makes my face ache.

One of the best things that ever happened to me was Rocky Horror being a total flop in New York as a play. I mean, it was a disaster, and it was the night of the long knives as far as the critics were concerned.
