Self Portrait
Jane Allsop
What do you like most about your self portrait? ( I apologise for not being able to show it)
Absolutely nothing. My boyfriend Dave drew it and I think it is terrible.
Star Sign?
Cancer
Chink In Armor?
I worry about things too much
Strong Suit?
I’m honest; I know how to have a good laugh
Republican or Monarchist?
Republican - but it depends on the structure
Best/Worst Aspect Of Your First Date?
It can’t have been that good - I can’t even remember who it was with.
Favourite Music/Performer?
Jestofunk or Jeff Buckley for the mellow times. Tony De Vit when it is time to dance
Favourite Meal?
I make a great vegetable and noodle stir-fry.
Read a Good Book Lately?
Awaking the Buddha Within, Lama Surya Das, a brilliant read.
Greatest Achievement?
Getting the role of Jo Parrish on Blue Heelers.
Most Embarrassing Moment?
Recently, I went to unlock my car and found it wouldn’t unlock. Getting frustrated I began kicking it only to realise it wasn’t my car.
Who Do You Most Admire?
The Dalai Lama. Imagine if we were all that peaceful and understanding of others.
Greatest Australian?
I don’t think our greatest Australian is necessarily a household name. It’s probably some ordinary lady who is working hard to raise a family, and who still manages to be friendly to people even after a hard day.
What Can’t You Resist?
Dark chocolate Tim Tams dipped in coffee
What Makes You Laugh?
Sarcasm
What Makes You Cry?
Cruelty to animals.
