If you had to audition for Australian Idol, what would the (other) judges say about you?
Shut up, put your clothes back on…. and get out!
The best part about working on Australian Idol is…
Sitting in judgement on young ambition; both credible and deluded.
My Idols are...
My mum, my wife, Ricky Gervais and Joe Strummer.
I can’t live without....
Tabasco, mayonnaise, my Birkenstock sandals and my iPod.
My most embarrassing Idol moment...
Every photo shoot
The greatest risk I ever took was...
Moving my family to other side of the plant for a 40% pay drop.
My favourite book is...
A confederacy of Dunces – John Kennedy Toole
If I wasn’t doing this job I’d….
Be a bored middle aged record exec.
My greatest achievement ...
My family being granted Australian citizenship.
Who was/is your favourite Idol past or present?
Shannon Noll, great story, great work ethic, great guy, great artist.
Best piece of advice anyone’s given you?
Live life by your own standards.
