"To me it has to be Saturday Night by the Suburban Reptiles."

"I'm always amazed at how impractical women's clothing is, based on watching my partner dress. What person would buy shirts or pants without pockets? Or a skirt with non-functioning zips? The woman I love that's who."

"I've got a mighty PC running Windows 2000 with 256MB RAM so would be great to smash it before it crashes on me. However, no-one's willing to donate a new one to a worthy cause (me)."

"The success of the Green Party in the last election inspired & uplifted me because it showed that more people are realising how perilous the Earth is. Increasing the number of MPs by 50% reflects the public concern."

on Johnny Clegg - The White Zulu 3 years ago

"A full drum kit a la rock bands is my idea of percussion. Cymbals, high tops, et al. What a sight & yet if you're talented only one arm is needed!"

on Batucada Sound Machine with Special Guest Tama Waipara, Jenn 3 years ago

"Constant news about the worldwide recession is moody & dark. Just what we need going into winter, living in an uninsulated home."

on Selon Recliner Album Release "Buffet & Show" 3 years ago

"Aucklanders need to harden up about the upcoming Auckland City Council. Donkey says it'll be good for you."

on Ben Hurley – Actually, I Do Mind 3 years ago

on Hayden Tee in 'Generation whY?' 3 years ago

"Going home to me is synonymous with going south, as I live further out than Manukau."

on Southside Comedy 3 years ago

"Has to be "Eleanor Rigby" with all the talk about the lonely people just like you & me. Amazing lyrics right the way through."

on Beatlemaniacs 'The Anthology Tour' 3 years ago

""I've Grown Accustomed To Her Face." Seriously I have. She, not the cat's mother, just looked at me with such a look of pure love that my heart melted."

on My Fair Lady 3 years ago

"It's all encompassed by the ideas of security, protection from the outside, safety & comfort. Also, simple things like planting a tree where you want to or decorating in your style. Basically stamping your mark on a house & converting it into yours."

on The Bridge Project: The Cherry Orchard 3 years ago

"To me, the force of love is an essential element of humanity. It can easily be said that those who do not feel love are not fully human. Cannot really see Pol Pot, Adolf Hitler, Idi Amin et al displaying boundless love to those around them."

on The Bridge Project: The Winter's Tale 3 years ago

"My best partnership is with my lovely partner Linda. After 2 years together, it still feels fresh & exciting. Spending time together is so sweet, at home by ourselves or in public."

"With 3 dozen beers, I'd keep them for myself so that when I'm drunk my partner will take advantage of me like a cheap piece of meat."

on Auckland 2009: The New Zealand Beer Festival 3 years ago

"I display considerable mercy towards all those who voted for a change last election. May your chickens come home to roost one day very soon!"
