I grew up doing musicals. I've done so many musicals in my life, I kind of got them out of my system. But, I certainly would be open to them. Rocky Horror Show is a big favorite of mine.

I tend to project my father figure onto any director that I'm working with, or mother, if I'm working with a female, or it can be confused.

Boxing is changing and training methods are slowly being dragged into the 21st century.

We are in the grip of a scientific materialism, caught in a vicious cycle where our security today seems to depend on regimentation and weapons which will ruin us tomorrow.

When I was a nurse my favourite assignment was the anorexic ward. I sometimes ate as many as seventeen dinners
