# Quote 1 [on EastEnders (1985)] The part I'm taking on here is definitely not just a hard man. He's a very clever character, he's intellectual, he's multi-layered, he's a great chance for me to take on a great part. 2 We knew it was the biggest gig that was happening. It's very rare that when you're in the moment you realise how big that moment is but Live Aid (1985) was just an exception to the rule. You knew and you understood how many people were watching it, you knew what it meant to others. Also, you have to remember this was the first time that a festival had happened that was outside of the heavy rock arena because before that it was just the arena for heavy metal. So it was everything, it changed politics, it changed everything and we knew that at the time. 3 Everything was larger than life: the clothes we wore, the shoulder pads, the hairspray. It was all about excess, which is why I think bands from the Eighties never kind of transposed and found their way into the Nineties very well, because the Nineties became very street.
