We felt if we didn't have new material in us and we didn't have a real reason to exist, then we probably wouldn't have done an 80's revival thing. We are very conscious about the fact that's what we are as a bunch of people.

The challenge of a revival is how to bring something fresh. The reward is the opportunity to add different flourishes. You're dealing with different actors, designers and a different time.

When is a revival needed? When carelessness and unconcern keep the people asleep.

I am so envious of my colleagues from 100 years ago who only sang new works, they hardly ever sang revivals.

The history of art is the history of revivals.

Even with revivals, I don't really pay attention to previous incarnations. I always just go with the script and with the director and am willing to treat it as brand new.

Any revival in which I am involved is liable to change.

When may a revival be expected? When the wickedness of the wicked grieves and distresses the Christian.

They tell me a revival is only temporary; so is a bath, but it does you good.

I don't think success has changed us as people at all. We are the same lunatics that we were when this band first got going. We never see ourselves as being on a higher level than our fans.
