Transcript
1. CHILDHOOD
WAS YOURS A HAPPY CHILDHOOD?
I guess.
DID YOU HAVE AN IMAGINARY FRIEND?
I didn't even know about that shit until a couple of years ago.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO RETURN TO CHILDHOOD?
Hey, man, like I live in the here and now, dig my jive, baby? If I wus inta time travellin', daddio, I be goin' back to da felavin hone bashwayne, coppon' jam thrashwren?
WHAT WERE YOUR CHILDHOOD ASPIRATIONS?
Bayer cherry-flavoured aspirin for children.
2. PERSONAL MAKE UP
WHAT ARE YOUR BEST CHARACTERISTICS?
Handsome, intelligent, sophisticated. Just joking.
WHAT IS THE WORST THING ANYONE COULD SAY TO YOU?
Whatever.
ARE YOU IN TOUCH WITH YOUR FEMALE SIDE?
Only when I tuck my genitals in between my thighs.
IF YOU MET YOURSELF AT AGE 16, WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO YOURSELF?
You are wasting your time yanking on that thing, boy!
WHAT KEEPS YOU AWAKE AT NIGHT?
Thinking about answering stupid questionnaires.
3. FAITH AND SPIRITUALITY
ARE YOU RELIGIOUS?
No dogma, thank you. Hope and faith in good, please.
IF YOU MET GOD, WHAT WOULD YOU ASK HER?
Let me ask you this: would a female God let the planet go to shit like it is now?
4. POLITICS AND ETHICS
ARE YOU REBELLIOUS?
Only when I wear a bandana around my head, guzzle Jack Daniels and listen to Guns N' Roses while cruising down Sunset Strip.
WHAT THREE THINGS WOULD YOU CHANGE IN THE WORLD?
(i) Abolish the use of petro-chemicals for the use of fuel.
(ii) Make parenting legal, only after the examination of one's competence. We have them for driving cars, why not for steering a young person's life?
(iii) Abolish warfare. World leaders must face each other face to face. Face it, we're facing the facade of Geo-national animosities in the face.
5. LOVE AND ROMANCE
ARE YOU ROMANTIC?
No, I am Slavic.
WHO WAS THE FIRST GREAT LOVE OF YOUR LIFE?
My wife, Shelli.
DESCRIBE YOUR DREAM LOVER?
My wife, Shelli.
WHAT IS YOUR GREATEST LOVE FANTASY?
That is between my wife and I, sorry!
