- Haydn Gwynne: When I lived in Italy, I fell in love totally with skiing. I even fantasized about giving it all up to become a ski instructor. (interview in 'Candis', July 2002)

- Haydn Gwynne: It was the musical nightmare to end them all. My biggest regret is that I didn't keep a daily diary. The most extraordinary things happened. The star and the director were fired after press night; it was rewritten. It did have its moments - my costume was worth £10,000 - but mainly it was agony. I cried myself to sleep most nights. (on Harold Fielding's musical 'Ziegfeld', 1988)
