My Interview
-
How would you describe yourself in 3 words?
Just three words?
Were you ever in trouble at school?
Sometimes. During my chemistry A-Level I failed to turn on a fume cupboard and let toxic fumes fill the room. At school I got detention a couple of times for talking back to teachers.
Who is your favourite singer or band?
Publicly: Jason Mraz. Privately: Glee.
If you had 3 wishes for yourself what would they be? - be honest!
I’m not sure to be honest. The top three Google Suggest entries for “I wish…” are: I wish I was a punk rocker, I wish I was a little bit taller and I wish it could be Christmas every day.
Tell us a joke.
