Which Hollywood star do you find
attractive?
What moves you emotionally?
Documentaries about soldiers
Which film director inspires
you?
I think Clint Eastwood as a director
gets better and better. His work seems to always have humanity at its
core. The film Grand Torino, which was his last screen appearance, demonstrated
his skill as a Director Maestro. The whole plot brilliantly hinged on our
preconceptions of the Clint myth.
What food do you most enjoy?
A bone to gnaw on, caveman style.
Which designer do you like to wear
most?
I would have to say that I am
completely oblivious to which designer compares to what in terms of mens
clothing. I have amassed an amusing collection of period trousers from a
company called Wild West Mercantile. If you're looking for period shirts
ie white linen dualist blouson then I would point you in the direction of a
company called Darcy, but as to fashion the in now out tomorrow philosophy I
find rather irritating. I have a wonderful black English equestrian
hunting jacket that I purchased from Sandon Saddlery. For style,
durability and comfort I have found no equal.
What was your most successful moment?
Being the first person ever to drive a
Hot Rod in China. Designed and built by myself ( (The Model A Deville as
I like to call it). From Shanghai to Beijing, there must be several
million Chinese folk with photos of the car in their mobile phones.
What makes you happy?
Tinkering
Which film director interests you?
Did you know when Clint goes to a
restaurant he orders porridge. That’s interesting.
What piece of music do you like
listening to?
'Your Song' by Elton John, but sung by
Andy Williams and slowed down so that it sounds like Barry White!
Where do you like to live?
In our airstream caravan, anywhere by
the sea.
What piece of art inspires you?
The statue of David by Bernini, in
Rome. A perfect life size self-portrait in white marble achieved at the
tender age of 24.
What shoes do you like to wear?
Anything by my great chum Guy West of
Jeffery-West Shoe Emporiums - classic English gentlemen's footwear with a twist
and a lot of edge, or my ancient snakeskin cowboy boots purchased on a dude
ranch trip to New Mexico several years ago.
What made you most happy in your
career?
My first sell out exhibition (June
1985) was the source of great happiness because it gave me a voice and suddenly
I could see I had a vehicle for the exploration of my life.
What person inspired you?
David Bowie in the film The Man who Fell
to Earth because of the possibility that one can be introverted yet still
successful.
What sport do you most enjoy?
I have no interest in any sport - this
has been the source of the majority of my social ineptitude. It means talking
to chaps in pubs is difficult and whenever I've tried it always sounds like I'm
gay trying to pick them up.
Where do you find serenity?
I found her in a lap dancing club on
the Edgware Road .... lovely girl …
What do you like to eat?
Mussels picked off the rocks and cooked
on a drift wood fire.
What is your biggest sin?
Lack of restraint
What piece of advice can you give
someone?
Feel the fear but do it anyway ….
What do you like to do at the week end?
Vehicular tinkerment.
