5 THINGS ABOUT ME
(in no particular order)
1. LOU REED WROTE A SONG FOR ME ONCE
It was called 'Too Stupid to Lie' and he composed it on the spot during our interview. He said it could make a country great and he called me 'lovely', I will never get over it.
2. I WON A GLOBAL AWARD & PICKED IT UP IN NYC
It was for Editor of the Year. I wasn't cool, calm and collected about it like everyone else at that ceremony. I was beaming, laughing, enthusiastic and floored. Best moment!
3. I CAN ROLLERSKATE
It was my #1 hobby from childhood until about two years ago when I dislocated my knee during Roller Derby training. I haven't been able to get my left knee right since, any tips?
4. IGGY POP REGRAMMED ME
I captured him pulling the audience on stage at Sydney Opera House. I was chuffed. Sidenote: Bowie, Iggy and Lou are my holy trinity.
5. WORDS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN MY JAM
I wrote the school Christmas play when I was 9 (an adaptation of The Pied Piper), won an award for an Early Times article aged 11 and it was all upwards from there really.
