What happened during the previews of 'Taboo' [musical] was that it was the first time I'd ever been written about as a great song-writer - I cried. I absolutely wept, because it wasn't the usual stuff like, Oh, he was a drug addict and he did this and that... It was really looking at the music and it was really complimentary. It was a huge thi
