Do you ever fantasise about your future, do you have a specific career related fantasy?
Yeah, I guess I do. And yeah! I totally do! In fact, fucking hell yes I do to both of these haha. Constantly. I dream of being an artist. And it kind of feels like an impulsion, that if I'm not successful I won't have been trying hard enough and so dang it TRY HARDER. It's weird. It's hard to explain too, because I've always felt it. That some way or another I will do what I love most and people will be proud of me for it. Not in a vain way, just in a kind of "well, I'm me, and there's nobody else controlling my actions so what's stopping me? What's stopping me being important?" and I don't know. I've always had that perspective and still do, and it means that when I think of my future, I see it as bright and for some reason influential I think if you believe you can do something then you probably will. I'm lucky to think that. I know that.
Do you ever fantasise about your future, do you have a specific relationship related fantasy?
Relationship! Interesting. I'd like to keep the relationship I had last year. It's funny, you know, because it was and in some ways still is kind of a story book romance. Not so much now because we don't live in the same town anymore, but last year we did and we were very fortunate because our time was spent magically. In fact, last August 12th we went stargazing in the middle of the night without permission and like some coincidental blessing there was a meteor shower that night and we laid in my favourite field until 6am and then went home. We did that a lot, sneaking out in the night. And falling asleep at my empty house (nobody lived there at the time, my mum was renting it out and I lived at my dads) and dancing to old vinyl. It really was perfect. And we used to and still do fantasise about growing up together and marrying in Iceland totally on our own, no wedding guests. Our witnesses would be random passers-by and the vicar just the local. And we'd do the whole thing in the middle of the night to honour our childhood. (We picked Iceland because there's a certain point in the Iceland suburbs where all you can see is land on the horizon, no buildings intruding the skyline - just plain desert type stuff. And it means the sky is lit up with stars. It is beautiful. And we said we wanted children, but I think we'd just want one. And I think it'd be a son. And we'd be artists. That's my plan, anyway. I do fantasise. We do fantasise.
Do you have any pets? If so what species and breed are they and what are their names?
No I don't :( I've had many in the past though. My dad has two cats though called Bubble and Squeak. I once had a kitten called Mrs Cat and I was going to get a bunny and call him Major Tom but that didn't work out. I have loads of fish at my dad's too. The oldest one was called Twinkles and I won her at a fair when I was 7.
Who was your first celebrity crush?
Oh my god, haha. I think it was George Sampson! If it wasn't George Sampson it was Chris Martin, I think. One or the other. But both were insane. Chris Martin was slightly more insane, however. Haha. Oh my.
Can you see yourself having children?
Absolutely. I would absolutely love it. The idea thrills me. The thought of helping somebody become a person, teaching them how to be properly alive is just overwhelming. What an honour.
What was the last song you listened to?
Nick Drake - Northern Sky
Are you, or have you ever been in love?
Yes, to both. Twice, I think. Who can say. It's a funny old ride.
If we want to go by Shakespeare’s sonnet 116 then if you have ever truly been in love then you would still be in love now, do you believe this is true?
That's really interesting. I believe that statement to be debatable, I don't think it's for one person to decide what being "in love" means. It is a very different experience for each person, and to say what is more valid than another is nonsensical. I believe, however, there is a difference between loving somebody and being in love with somebody. I have done both.
I am consistently alone, but never lonely. I only feel lonely when I am rejected by those who I love and admire the most.
Water. Water is my favourite element, my favourite thing, perhaps. I have an obsession with the ocean. It calms me down, it brings me to earth, ironically. It reminds me of stillness and content. Fire is cool too. Without fire, there is no heat. And heat, in people, is my favourite thing.
1) Do you believe there is truly any difference between the emotive nature of love and hate?
2) What is your favourite book, and why?

6) Think of a physical thing you care most about. What's the story behind it?
7) Do you believe, much as Nietzsche theorised, that all life is futile? If yes, what is stopping you being the person you most want to be? And if no, what do you believe is the purpose to life?
8) If you could bring any deceased person to life, who would it be, and why?
9) If you knew you were going to die in 7 days, what would your final actions and requests be?
10) What is your biggest regret?
11) Say the thing you never said, never can say, but wish you had/could.
