- I'm ambidextrous!
- News reporting, PR, Advertising, Publicity - if I could spend the rest of my professional life in the media industry I'd die happy.
- The Picture of Dorian Gray - I could read Oscar Wilde every day for the rest of my life. His use of language is so illustrative and beautiful in makes me want to cry.
- Legends of the Fall, Up, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Two Hands, Labyrinth, Pulp Fiction, Inglorious Basterds...I could probably go on forever.
- The September Issue
- Numero, The New Yorker, STAB, Frankie, Russh
- Very serious news reporter...
- Lying in the long grass in our back paddock and learning to make daisy chains with Dad. I was about three.
- Necessary, potentially all-consuming, a secondary motivator.
- The pendulum will swing; last year we saw the re-birth of conservative sensibility in everything from housing to fashion. When it's all over we'll be back where we started and we won't have learnt a thing.
- Exactly as it should be, for now.
L'esprit de l'escalier
Brissy-based journo. Strong willed and weak kneed. Pathological communicator. Drinker of coffee.

My best friends are getting married and having babies. I'm getting my nose pierced and having a Summer fling. I've lived my life out of order.

Reality just ain't what it used to be. So we'll plan our next venture beneath the skies. We're gonna make cupcakes, make love, make a coffee table. We'll play scrabble with the skeletons in our closets and drink tea with the monsters under our beds, hold someone by the hand and by the heart, wink at the stars and love with abandon in this too-big world. And if there is no spoon, fuck it. ‘Cause it's Summer, and the ride is still fun and fine.
