They never were planning to be here. All my family are going to London because they wanted to go to the big one. There was never any showdown - there wouldn't be.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When there are things that don't go according to plan, London will cope.
I first came to London when I was 22 and working as a roadie. Having watched the 'News At Ten' all my life, I thought Big Ben was going to be massive, but I was underwhelmed.
There wasn't very much going on in London about five years ago, and I just took a ticket on spec and went to Los Angeles. I think it was in my second week that I auditioned for 'Battlestar.'
It must have been an extraordinary time. I guess the worrying thing about musical theatre to me, is if you look at the London season this year, mine is actually the only one to have come in.
There's nowhere else like London. Nothing at all, anywhere.
I've never been outside Heathrow so it will be exciting to see what London has to offer. I think I've only flown into Heathrow maybe twice.
London is a small place, and it is very incestuous. People know where you live. Everybody is sort of on top of each other.
I don't miss London much. I find it crowded, vast and difficult to get around. Cabs are incredibly expensive.
I certainly have no plans to leave London. It's a great town.
For me, London is and always will be home.
