1.) Would you ever consider living in a country other than Britain. If yes, which one, if no, why not?
When I was younger I wanted to live in America. The hugeness of it was awe-inspiring, and I would still like to tour all of it. I've considered New Zealand and more recently Aus, but at the end of the day here is where all the people who are dear to me are, here is where my band is, and here is where I'm likely to remain. I would like to move to Scotland one day, the Highlands somewhere remote. But only after I've made my fortune...
I do want to tour most of the world...
2.) Which album by a favourite artist do you wish had never been recorded, and why?
Actually, I don't think I regret any of the music by my favourite artists. I regret the loss of Jimmy Steinman's physical beauty, I regret Metallica's current attitude to the new form of tape-swapping that made them famous in the first place. I regret the death of Freddie Mercury. But I can't think of anything I know of that I don't like, although this may just be because I'm behind the times with most of my music. I do wish that Steinman had got more recognition for 'Bad For Good' and 'Original Sin'...
3.) Describe what your personal version of Heaven and Hell would be like, given that they existed.
Hmm, heaven would be where I'm not afraid of my past or my future anymore, where I never felt ill or depressed, and where I could spend every day doing whatever I liked knowing that it wasn't hurting anyone, and that I would do it, and would want to do it. Hell would be much like my life now, except that the friends and family I have left would be totally against me, would hate me utterly. There would be no Erik, no band, and I would be stuck back at the charity shop with all the stress of the worst customers we have where I work now. I would know only failure, only fear and depression, and every time I walked out my door there would be machinery in water to cross before I could get anywhere...
4.) What is your ideal relationship configuration. Have you ever had a relationship that was similar to it?
This is a hard one to answer. I don't know TBPH. The relationships I'm in are usually right for me at the time, and this is obviously subject to change. So when I was poly, that was just right for me at that time, and each of my bois filled a particular role. Now I'm in a monogamous relationship I'm in need of that security and trust and the absolute love of one person, to be returned absolutely.
5.) If you could change one aspect of your body, what would it be?
Either I would have bigger breasts or a smaller belly (lower abs). Psychologically, I'd like to be heathly and totally free of any mental illness... I'd also like my hair to be naturally the colour it was last year...
