We do recognise the need to move towards the publication of information showing the progress made by pupils from one stage of their education to another.
For every fresh stage in our lives we need a fresh education and there is no stage for which so little educational preparation is made as that which follows the reproductive period.
I have actual dreams of Bruce Springsteen calling me up on stage to wear a bandanna and play rhythm guitar next to Little Steven.
When I began to choreograph and find my way pulling other artists' dreams out and changing music in a visual way there was still a part of me that had something more to say. There was still a desire to rock a stage and ultimately perform the eight count of my dream but there was a lot of insecurity there.
I mean every child at one stage dreams of being a prince or a princess.
For me I am still very happy to be able to do stage design as it's an opportunity to express the extreme.
I've always been a bit of a decorator. I think if I wasn't a singer I'd probably be in stage setting or interior design or something. I like clutter and I'm quite visually greedy. I can't have things to be plain I have to have things looking interesting... maybe I'm just a frustrated interior designer stuck in a singing career.
I was very interested in theatre mostly in stage design. I did a little bit of acting.
To appear on the stage drunk to have them leave there and remember me making drunken mistakes that was death.
If what you do is being threatened as a profession that could be scary. But that's the same reason why I walked out on stage many times after receiving death threats. I couldn't live without doing what I wanted to do. So at the same time I have to be willing to die for it.
