"I understand the power of music, I understand the therapeutic nature of music, the sense of communit..." — Michael Ball

Theatres, stages are dangerous places.

I don't think you last very well in this business if you're trendy because trends come and go.

I just work so much and so hard that I love the idea of being around family, friends and my animals quietly at home, just chilling out.

In 2005, I played Count Fosco in 'The Woman In White' on Broadway. It was a disaster. I was physically run down and terribly homesick and I just knew I had to leave. I lasted three months before the producers released me.
