Where did you grow up?

Either a Vet or an Architect
How did you get to where you are now?
I kept finding ladders, lifts and elevators and just kept climbing
How many hours a week do you work?

Having adventures across exotic lands, whilst my films and TV Shows and books bring me a happy income.
What advice would you give somebody embarking on their first business or aspiring to achieve extraordinary career goals?

What is the best piece of advice anybody has given to you?
Don't worry about what other people think, listen to your heart.

John Cleese
Name a movie that actually inspired you:
Meetings Bloody Meetings (training film by John Cleese)
Sex Lies and Videotape, when I saw this film I thought, yes I can make a movie too!
Your favourite toy as a child?
A furry Koala. I once stuck a black piece of cardboard in the shape of a heart over the lens of my camera to take a photo of my koala, this produced a shot of my koala in a heart.
What are you reading at the moment?
A Michael Palin Biography written by Jonathan Margolis
Which song transports you to another place when you hear it and why?
Eric Clapton Layla. It makes me feel great!
What are you passionate about?
I'm passionate about the charity that I am a patron of, Marie Stopes International Australia (MSIA). They work so hard to enable women and their families throughout the world to utilise modern family planning techniques and provide important education and information to those who need it. MSIA empower women to make informed decisions about their reproductive health choices.
Your favourite place in the world, and why?
My Bed, because so much great stuff happens there. My bed aside, Paris, New York and any black run ski slope with fresh snow anywhere in the world will do.
What is your idea of the perfect Sunday?
2 hours is too personal to tell you about. The rest of the day consists of brunch with 1 or more people that I'm close too and then some fun times with my kids for the rest of the day.
What makes you angry?
Women being denied basic family planning methods in counties where they are needed most. This is something that MSIA are helping with; they provide women with the services and information that they need.
List 5 valuable factors for a healthy and enjoyable life:
Love, sex, Freedom, Learning and Friendship
