To me, movies and music go hand in hand. When I'm writing a script, one of the first things I do is find the music I'm going to play for the opening sequence.
I loved old black and white movies, especially the Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers musicals. I loved everything about them - the songs, the music, the romance and the spectacle. They were real class and I knew that I wanted to be in that world.
Antonio Salieri: [about Emperor Joseph II's musical tastes] Actually, the man had no ear at all. But what did it matter. He adored my music.
I started out really into musical theater. So you can imagine I was super popular. I wasn't awkward looking at all.
I came to musical theatre from straight acting, and a lot of my friends have a real prejudice about musical theatre - one I probably shared.
I really think that the 'Jersey Boys' musical - and this is just my opinion - lends itself to being cinematic in some way, because it's a jukebox musical; the characters break into song only for the scene transitions.
People fall into patterns at fast speeds, when really, to have a clear musical thought - the kind of musical thought that makes a melody work - our brains just can't think that fast. At a certain point, you're going on automatic.
It would be like The Rock versus Seth Green. Now, tell me who he is
Writing is a craft, being an author is work, and having readers and a following is a gift.
I like to think that when I complete a novel I learned something along the way.
It’s against the rules of humanity to believe there is nothing we can do.
When one is silent, those around speak even more, my lord.
Let's Shout It Out and Speak As One. Mind Rock On, The Gemini One.
A brain is only capable of what it could conceive, andit couldnt concieve what it hasnt experienced
If government and media and all of us in the Australian tribe got together, and the rock industry, we'd just be the greatest cultural force the world has ever seen - we're such an amazing race.
When I first started, my songs were the politics of anger. As I got older and hopefully wiser, I wanted to be part of the politics of answers.
It was very hard breaking into the film industry in Britain. I had been to art school, and I was painting and doing commercials. And I did some of the very first rock videos.
I am not my body. My body is nothing without me.
Thank you for keeping it a secret. There aren’t many of those in this tribe.
Because, no matter how old we get, we always need to believe in fairytales.
Home isn’t a place. Home is anywhere, just as long as the people you love are there.
