Who
is your all-time hero?
"Oooh. I don't know. I reckon maybe it might be the
taxi driver I had last night, Janet. Anyone with spirit
and life force and the will to sort of make a go of
things, you know? I quite admire people like that."
What's the
worst trouble you've been in?
"I don't believe in trouble. Because I think that
trouble is sometimes good, sometimes bad. I've been
known to be called trouble, which I think is quite a
compliment. But I suppose, thinking about it, that my
best and worst trouble has always had something to do
with a man."
Who was the
first love of your life?
"Brian, the lion. My mum made him for me. He's a
lion made out of corduroy, sort of in the shape of a
turd. With a big flat corduroy face and trifle nose made
out of Fuzzy Felt, a wool mane and a little wool tail.
And now all that exists of Brian the lion is his head.
His body disintegrated."
What is your
greatest talent?
"I suppose it must be bringing people together. I'm
quite good at that, I think."
Upon whom
would you most like to exact revenge?
"No-one. I reckon what goes around comes around. I
do. I don't need to do it, because eventually it just
sort of happens anyway."
What is your
most treasured possession?
"My guitar. And my self-respect."
What have you
most regretted doing while drunk?
"Definitely shagging the wrong person. It has to
be. Awful business. Suddenly you wake up in bed with
your best friend or something. Awful."
What can you
cook?
"Anything I put my mind to. I like to cook."
What is the
best piece of advice you've received?
"'No matter. Fail better next time.'"
Can you read
music?
"No."
If you were
invisible for a day, what would you do?
"Close my eyes."
If you had
three wishes, what would they be?
"If I told you, they wouldn't come true. Ha! I got
out of that, didn't I?"
