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

Don't dream it, be it.

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.

But we live in a modern world, you know, and, and also it does seem to me that if you - that whatever talents you have, it... I mean it may sound a bit absurd but I, I think it's your, absolutely your duty to resolve them, you know?

It's the best job in the whole world. There's no job better.

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.

You see, there are always purists in every, in every art form and particularly I think in, in performance arts of any kind.

I think that me turning up is kind of a grim anti-climax, ... And I think that he should just have the life that he was meant to have. I think having a wrinkly actor show up 20 years after is a little old, really.
