that kind of marriage isn't legal where I live."

it. I could have spent a lot of time trying to change myself, I'd rather
just be in the band and do my thing and do it well. Beauty is relative."

On
playing Glastonbury: "If you can't touch that crowd you're missing out
on everything, it's really spiritual, it's not scary."

done all the shaving yet... [but] I'm the spitting image of my gran!"

wouldn't dream of giving me that in the UK, I hadn't done any character
roles...

"I think this is the best musical I've ever done – fun, hip,
great music and it deals with issues in a really clever, sharp way."

He
also says his recent starring role in the English National Opera's Kismet was
"shocking. I was told it would be a huge, lavish extravaganza. It had
great potential and it was just shocking."
