Holding Auditions In Front Of An Audience

On One Level, Going Bust Didn't Bother Me. It Was The 80s, And There Wasn't The Stigma About Bankruptcy That You Might Think. My Mates Weren't Bothered. My Dad Was In Business.. He Knew That It Happened, Too. He Loaned Me The Money To Bail Me Out, And I Got A Loan From The Bank To Pay Him Back.

There's An Expression In Life: "you Can Only Make One First Impression." And That First Impression Has To Be Spectacular. So, I Wait, And Let People See It When It's Ready To Go. It's Not A Set Rule, But I Think It's The Better Way Of Working. People Will Agree With You Because Of Your Track Record, But You Want People To Like It Because It's Good, Not Because You Found It.

I Turned Down Many Chances To Be On Tv Before 'pop Idol' Because I Really Wasn't Interested In Being Famous. I Didn't Need It And Didn't Want It.

I Think You Have To Judge Everything Based On Your Personal Taste. And If That Means Being Critical, So Be It. I Hate Political Correctness. I Absolutely Loathe It.

The Minute You Start Assuming That The Audience Is Very Happy To See The Same Show Again, You're Dead.
