You shouldn't be condemned for being honest. I don't know how much it hurt my career but the opportunities I've had are not things I dwell upon. The one thing that I have never ever done is actually advocate the use of drugs. - on telling a paper he had used drugs in the past

Joseph was amazing - they had to block off the streets outside the Palladium, there were so many people wanting autographs. For a year there wasn't an unsold seat in the house. I'll tell you what though, in the end, I was sick to death of it.
Tim Rice was so impressed with Donovan's performance as Joseph during the 1991-1992 West End London Theatre run of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat, that he pushed heavily for Donovan to play Simba in The Lion King (1994). But Jeffrey Katzenberg refused as Donovan wasn't a big enough name for an American audience.
His favorite songs are "Come Together" by The Beatles, "Love's About To Change My Heart" by Donna Summer, "Ev'rytime We Say Goodbye" by Ella Fitzgerald, "Big Time" by Peter Gabriel, "Vertigo" by U2 and "Woman In Chains" by Tears For Fears (feat. Oleta Adams). (Source: BBC Radio 2 "Tracks of My Years").

Sued "The Face" magazine in 1992 after they claimed he was gay. He won £200,000 in damages but came to an agreement with the magazine as it would have gone out of business. Unfortunately, the very act of his litigation ruined his career as he was labeled homophobic.
