| QUESTION AND ANSWER
|
| Tell us - what are the best things in life?
Friends.

It was a bad reception last night on the dream front. (White
noise).
|
| What's your favourite smell?
Lying in my bed with fresh sheets and familiar smells.
|
| Do you cry to pop songs? And which ones?
Not for a while - last time it was "Wild Is The Wind" David

|
| When was the last time someone shouted at you?
I only let one person shout at me and when she does I

|
| Do you close your eyes when you kiss?
Spontaneity rules in this area. I have to admit I once fell

I'm fond of New York. Oslo seems worth investigating, but
London is hard to beat.
|
| When were you last afraid? And what was so scary?
Sometimes on tour you just get the fear. It's hard to explain
but is very scary. In Cologne last year I had it and wrote a
letter to my girlfriend as I thought it was all over. It was
very soppy and I was quite embarrassed when I woke up
alive.
