[on being cast as Rum Tum Tugger, the rock'n'roll cat] When I first started in the theater and went to New York, one of the first shows I got was 'Cats'. There I was, auditioning with all these incredible New York dancers. I walked out, and when the choreographer asked me why, I just said,'I can't do this; I'm wasting your time'. She was adamant. 'We can teach you'.
