1. I do things that scare me. Firebreathing, Fast cycling, Stand Up, Jumping off high things. Whatever. I just figure the more things that scare you that you get out of the way now, the less you have for when your older.
2. I've never really got the hang of working out which bits of life you're meant to think about. I mean, I'll really over think where to put a film on a shelf. Or how to set up the most aerodynamic backpack. And then do something really important without thinking.
3. Most of that shit that i spout is really true. I really did once nearly spin out a plane over the M40. I really did get bitten by a 6 foot fish. Yeah, I once accidentally set my hand on fire and then used it to breath the last breath in a fireshow. What? Crazy stuff just seems to happen arround me.
4. If I had stronger will power I'd be a vegetarian. But I don't, I am week. For one reason only: energy balance. The more trophic levels you put between you and basal producers (crop plants) the more land you need to use to feed one person.
5. I have a huge amount of respect for people that play musical instruments. I can't and that is because I didn't practice back when I had a maleable brain. Now my brain is tough and fibrous and I'm never going to be that good.
6. I honestly care so very little what people think. Most of the time. This leads to costume. I dress how I feel. If I wake up feeling like a pirate, so be it.
7. I honestly think one person can make a difference. Hopefully, a zoovet at the right place at the right time can change the outcome for one species, mabe a whole group of species.
8. I can't drive. And honestly, I don't want to learn. I know I'm going to have to, but I shall take as long as I humanly can. Cars are an excellent case in point epitomising the singular nature of self-destructive blind consumerism. Bollocks to that.
9. I have to do 25 of these things? I'm just not that interesting.
10. I have decided to leave my sexual/relationship ideas out of this. But, yes I have views. Yes, I'd protest to uphold them. If my views were against gays or promiscuits, that would make me a bigot. If they are against homophobes and idiots, does it still?
11. I believe that beauty, both artistic and emotional, is in the ye of the beholder and there is no such thing as objective beauty. The idea of a "perfect" piece of art or a "most beautiful" woman, seems false to me if it is without labled personal bias.
12. I have no problem with public nudity. At all. For this I have to thank James Banton and Stacey Gregg. Without their need, I wouldn't have had any reason to be naked on stage.
13. I adore cinema and am willing to defend its place as a valid form of art experience against theatre proponants who claim that you get more real emotion on stage. I claim in response that the emotion of theatre actors is dulled because they have to do it night after night. Whereas on film, you only have to it once, so you give it your all.
14. Modelling is not just walking up and down with a bunch of skinny girls. It's about trying to get as much emotion across to the audience without any dialogue. It's a challenge and is great fun.
15. While we're on the topic. What is the world's obsession with skinny girls? 12 - 14 please. Somebody give them a meal or two. Noodles, pizza, whatever, I'll pay.
16. I still find magnets pretty magic. That and surface tension. And imaginary numbers. And the last move on a rubik cube where everything gets messed up and then brought back together in the right order.
17. I can say "thank you" in 25 languages. It just seemed like an important word to learn. The most important word to learn. That and "Can I help?".
18. No, I don't get cold. I weigh the same as a baby elephant, of course I don't get cold. If you see me cold I'm either *really* hungry or I didn't sleep very well at all. Or I have a fever.
19. My camera goes with me everwhere. This is important, because photography is about luck as much as anything and luck favours the prepared. And the polite.
20. Mozart. Mark Knopfler. Marshal Mathers. Beethoven. Ola Salo. John Williams. Scroobius Pip. Imogen Heap. Alice Cooper. Tom Rosenthal. Bach. Funtwo. Chuck Berry. Bonnie Tyler. All subjective, remember.
21. 21? Jeez, look at that. I might just make it.
22. I'm honest. And open. Ask me a question.
23. And finally, I don't like rules that are just there to be rules.
