We knew that if we needed a point, especially last season, Ruben was going to win. He has a very mature personality on the court - you know that he's always going to make the right decision.

We wanted to get on a roll and carry it through to the end of the year. Today was the start of our season.

We really felt that with the disappointment of the Texas trip that our season started today.

There was no such thing as production at Starday. We'd go in with the band, we'd go over the song, I'd look over and tell the steel player to take a break or kick it off, and I'd get the fiddle to play a turnaround in the middle.

I do enjoy filming, but I do consider myself still to be a bit of a novice, and I learn a bit every time I do a film job, and I am very admiring of film actors.

For me, a diva is like the great opera singer, the great film star - out of reach, in their own world, with a real gift for invention: attention-demanding performance artists with a flamboyant, compelling sense of their own importance so special and inimitable it verges on the alien.
