David Bowie, Himself:
I really had it in my mind to do a musical of 1984. It was a book that I'd loved all through my youth. But, of course, I didn't really take into account the second Mrs. Orwell who, when she got wind of what we were doing, absolutely put her foot down and said "We're not having a rock-n-roll Beatle work on my late husband's great piece of work."

absolutely put her foot down and said
