The Royals work very hard.
From Julian Ovenden
I feel that doing theater does give you a good grounding to work on camera. The audience is the lens.
I trained as a singer before I was an actor. I was a kid singer, I went to theater and choir school, and then I got music scholarships throughout my education. And that's what I was going to do. And then I took a left turn and went to drama school and became an actor.
I don't assume that I am going to be cast as a Glaswegian landlord.
I think I've got better at expressing my emotions. But going through the education system I went through - I don't think you can go to boarding school and come out without feeling a little repressed - yes, it does leave its mark on you.
'Easy listening' is a term that is often used incorrectly.
I don't go to church regularly. I wouldn't say I was religious, but more spiritual.
Acting, musicals, bringing out an album - not many people have done that. Anthony Newley, Barbra Streisand?
Looking back at those great singers like Gordon MacRae and Howard Keel - they have such a specific kind of style that it seems like we don't really appreciate anymore.
It seems like pop singing has sort of influenced musical theatre in so many ways - you could argue good or bad, really - and musical theatre is written for that style so often, which is a completely different style.
