beginning found interest lives taken
We've found that our lives are beginning to change, that the press, for instance, has taken an interest in us and our lives.
along bad came camp comics feeling frankie gave gay john kenneth loved positive school single williams
I loved all the camp comics of my childhood, Kenneth Williams and Frankie Howerd and John Inman, but school gave me a very bad feeling about being gay and then, when I was about 12 - bang, along came AIDS. I can't think of a single positive thing about being gay at that time.
song children wind
I told Bernie Taupin that his best lyrics were for Song For Guy just because it doesn't have any words in it. But there you go... I'm a wind up! But a good Elton song for karaoke is I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues... "laughing like children, living like lovers, rolling like thunder under the covers..." Everyone can join in!
song mad dozen
My favourite song of Elton's is... it's a tricky one for me. I'm a proper fan and I've probably seen him in concert about a dozen times before I even met him. Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters, which isn't in this film... but whenever I see him, I always tell him that Passengers is my favourite song because it's one of his least auspicious ones.
running giving theatre
I played Thersites and I remember we were also doing some places out of town before starting our run at The Old Vic in London and we were at the Yvonne Arnaud Theatre in Guildford and I walked on stage and I've got an opening speech that begins: "Agamemnon, how if he had boils?" And I went on and said: "Agamemnon..." And a woman in the front row just went 'tut'. I thought: "I've only done four syllables, give us a chance!" I got one word out and the audience were already tutting. It was worse than any heckle I ever had doing comedy. So, I'll stick to gnomes.
hate people might
People will love something very much or hate something very much. But the great thing about a sketch show is that if something comes along that you don't like, something else will come along in a minute that hopefully you might like that.
thinking honest juliet
I think this [Gnomeo & Juliet] is the closest I ought to get to Shakespeare to be honest.
strong mean people
I mean comedy is something that's very personal and people have strong opinions about.
people important dull
It's important to hold something back, though, because quite frankly my personal life is pretty dull and I don't want to bore people with it.
pieces parks deer
It's very likely that graduates, current employees and retirees have some wonderful pieces of Deer Park history in their closets or garages.
jobs real decision
I'm just glad that on a budget like this I don't have to make any of those hard decisions because I feel it must be a real job to direct this, as there's so much going on.
couple nice party
I'm a very recent convert to the gay scene. I went to a party a couple of years ago and met a very nice man who took me under his wing and started taking me out to clubs. It was a revelation.
mistake years two
The most useful form of time travel would be to go back a year or two and rectify the mistakes we made.
bits
I am a bit of a daydreamer.
