In theater and dance, I was trying to win someone's approval, trying to get in, trying to be good. It felt out of my control, whereas music suddenly felt like this free expression. It was fun.

I basically taught myself how to sing and play by copying records, and that's just how it was for me. I know that's true for a lot of budding musicians out there - that's the thing that gets them inspired, is trying to learn their favorite songs. I think it's a great way to teach yourself.

My hair is naturally curly, and in the 80's, even though I experimented with different lengths, I generally wore it curly. Since then, I've learned how to use a blow dryer and flat iron.

Make sure you date someone who always makes you want to dance, with or without music.

I'm all in favour of free expression provided it's kept rigidly under control.

Our house composer, Jonathan Richards wrote the script and music, trying to create something that was punchy and fun. And keeping the program at 23 minutes helps hold their attention.
