| Interview Saturday 9th July 2005 What is your favourite music? I don't necessarily have a favourite type or band but I do admire alot of people, their varying talents and our musical history. I think as long as a song has a defined message with instrumental melody.structure or it has a sort of wit which makes it unique, I'm happy to listen to it. R&B I can't relate to. It's all about the bling with no real musical genius behind the tracks. I can't cope with that. What would we find in your CD Player at the moment? Green Day - American Idiot... I admire the thought that has gone into the album. Not only do the tracks merge with eachother so there's rarely a gap between tracks which makes comfy listening but there's also tracks within tracks. It reminds me of older albums decades ago when an album was a story which interrelated amongst songs and not just a compilation of tracks. How important is music to you? Music is very important to me. It's an immense part of my life. I could live without my DVD player for a while but music, never. It's a bigger part of me than movies and theatre, in a sense of 'need' for it but I could never be good enough to make a career out of it. Maybe I could merge my interests one day and make something like Baz Luhrmann's, Moulin Rouge. Do you own any musical insturments? Yes. I have a small Yamaha keyboard and a classic guitar. I'm hoping to buy a drum-set in the future but I have other things to pay for first,like a shed to keep it in at the bottom of the garden so our neighbours don't get mad! Do you play any instruments? Yes. I'm self-teaching how to play acoustic guitar at the moment but I'd like to one day be able to play electric lead amongst other things. I used to play the flute, keys and I'm naturally good at the drums. My dad was a drummer. Must be in the genes. If you wrote yourself a letter 5yrs ago & 5yrs from now, what would you put? Five years ago I'd be 15 and starting my final GCSE year. I think I'd say congrats for getting through the hard times. They make you stronger but there will be more to come. There always will be. With every change in one's life brings an obstacle. Enjoy this final year. You will embark on your life path soon and there's no point in looking for it. You will find it through yourself. What is meant to be is meant to be. It will be the beginning of what you yearn... Knowledge of yourself, your future and with it confidence needed for the years ahead. And five years from now. I'd like to think I have my Puma (laughs). Erm, I don't know where my life is heading at the moment but wherever it goes it can only be for a good cause. I hope that I've achieved what I can be proud of, both professional and personal. I have recently realised that this can only happen with me taking chances in the NOW. I just hope I'm doing ok. Looking back on your life, would you have changed anything? I don't believe one should live with regrets. It only drags you down. I'm happy with the person I am professionally at the moment. I've worked on the film I've always wanted to work on. I've been in my fav musical. I'm at uni. I'm taking my driving test next week. I have savings. I have a body of work which I'm proud of. I guess if I could change anything, it would be myself. I hate that I don't allow myself close to people and I don't allow people close to me. I shut off to shun people away or I act 'odd' so people won't like me. It annoys me because my defence mechanism is the thing that hurts me. If only I could be more comfortable with others. I'm working on it. Part One Part Two Part Three |
