I mean I don't really think about it. You know, do you know what I often say to myself? I think you're very lucky in life if you know what you want to do.
'The Phantom of the Opera' is about love. It's as simple as that.
The arts are the one thing that appeal right across all forms of politics, race, creed - everything.
What I can't tell is, I don't know if there's a subliminal resistance to the idea of a sequel to 'The Phantom of the Opera' anyway.
I've got to find something and if I find something that I like, I'll do it. If I don't, I won't.
Together, we can nurture the talent of the future and bring the empowering force of music and the arts to a new generation.
You never know what will happen. There is a thing called zeitgeist. You have to hit it.
People like to put you into a box. I'm afraid I don't sit in a box.
If you know what you want to do, as I always loved musicals, and then to have been lucky enough to be successful with them, I think that's all you can ask isn't it? I think I don't really think too much about it. I am a bit shy socially, yeah, I admit that.
Well the least favourite question is the one that one's asked particularly about in Japan is what's the difference between theatre and cinema and I think, well, that's about eighty bucks.
'The Phantom of the Opera' is the biggest thing I've ever done, bigger even than 'Cats' which, in itself, I never thought we'd top.
Music, architecture and pictures have always been my passions, and all that material wealth has meant for me, is being able to have some of the pictures I liked.
I have a very strong will.
Two years ago I hadn't even thought of the Woman in White, and I was doing a television show and I said I hadn't found a story and the next day somebody rang me and said have you ever thought of the Woman in White.
'School of Rock' is fun. Hopefully, I've fleshed it out with a few catchy songs and kept the spirit of the original movie.
My love of musical theater was certainly not typical. I mean, it was considered to be very, very abnormal, in fact!
Nothing will ever be as big as 'The Phantom of the Opera' for me.
It doesn't stand up to huge intellectual scrutiny.
I think Michael Crawford realised, I think we all realised, once we'd gone the route of casting a very young girl, you can't really cast a 65 year old man opposite. Slightly different resonance I think. No, we weren't going to go there. We'd have Jack Nicholson in the lead.
I have always tried with my shows - win, lose, or draw - to take the boundaries of music as far as I can.
