Michael Praed

(on his loyal fan base) Michael: ... there's a loyal bunch of people out there. I mean, I'm not Brad Pitt, but I appreciate them. Apparently there's a website devoted to my chest hair, but I swear I haven't been on it.

(on performing in dance show, "Contact") Michael: That show also stands out in my memory because it was phenomenally difficult – a skill I had not been able to do and to achieve it gives some satisfaction. I'm a terrible dancer but I loved doing it. I can move in time but I'm not a trained dancer.

(on how he likes to relax while on stage) Michael: One of the joys of touring is the esprit de corps within a company. After a performance, generally speaking people will go out either to eat or to socialise. I find that relaxes me after a show, but the best relaxation technique for me is to read. Touring gives me the opportunity to indulge in this pastime, which I love.
