I had decent but not great grades in high school because I was highly motivated in some subjects, like the arts, drama, English, and history, but in math and science I was a screw-up.

When we'd suggested doing it, the Theatre Royal management had said, 'Nobody wants to see Waiting for Godot.'

I feel like the rap metal at the end of the 1990s destroyed rock music for everybody and suddenly everybody felt like they had to apologise for being in rock bands.
