Where would you bury your treasure if you had some?
I’m not telling you.
What do you most value in your friends?
Sincerity.
You are attending a birthday party of a very rich person who "has got everything". What do you give him/her as a gift?
I choose gifts based on the people they are for, not general gifts for what demographic they fit into. Depending on the friend, if I am close to them I will likely go with a book or record that I love and that I feel they would also connect with. So that we can have that connection to share together. I want all gifts I give to be an extension of me, not just something pretty to look at or play with.
The final monologue that 1900 (Tim Roth) gives at the end of The Legend of 1900. 1900 is the character’s name. 1900: [explaining why he didn't leave the ship and never will be] All that city... You just couldn't see an end to it. The end! Please, could you show me where it ends? It was all very fine on that gangway and I was grand, too, in my overcoat. I cut quite a figure and I had no doubts about getting off. Guaranteed. That wasn't a problem. It wasn't what I saw that stopped me, Max. It was what I didn't see. Can you understand that? What I didn't see. In all that sprawling city, there was everything except an end. There was everything. But there wasn't an end. What I couldn't see was where all that came to an end. The end of the world. Take a piano. The keys begin, the keys end. You know there are 88 of them and no-one can tell you differently. They are not infinite, you are infinite. And on those 88 keys the music that you can make is infinite. I like that. That I can live by. But you get me up on that gangway and roll out a keyboard with millions of keys, and that's the truth, there's no end to them, that keyboard is infinite. But if that keyboard is infinite there's no music you can play. You're sitting on the wrong bench. That's God's piano. Christ, did you see the streets? There were thousands of them! How do you choose just one? One woman, one house, one piece of land to call your own, one landscape to look at, one way to die. All that world weighing down on you without you knowing where it ends. Aren't you scared of just breaking apart just thinking about it, the enormity of living in it? I was born on this ship. The world passed me by, but two thousand people at a time. And there were wishes here, but never more than could fit on a ship, between prow and stern. You played out your happiness on a piano that was not infinite. I learned to live that way. Land is a ship too big for me. It's a woman too beautiful. It's a voyage too long. Perfume too strong. It's music I don't know how to make. I can't get off this ship. At best, I can step off my life. After all, it's as though I never existed. You're the exception, Max. You're the only one who knows that I'm here. You're a minority. You'd better get used to it. Forgive me, my friend. But I'm not getting off.
Invisibility. Can’t think of a more desired skill for covert intelligence work.
What invention has had the greatest impact on society?
Vaccines.
If you could change one thing about ASKfm for 24 hours, what would it be?
I’d like some questions that require me to think and open up.
Do you believe in happy ending?
They’re illegal in the US, so I wouldn’t accept them if I were you.
Do you consider yourself a jealous person?
Not in the slightest. I’m not sure I am even capable of that. Jealousy is a fear of someone taking what is yours, and I have never felt any feelings of ownership toward a human, nor do I want to.
Do you follow your brain or your heart?
Both, maybe. I’m not sure.
What is happiness for you?
The moments in which I do not feel the weight of life that seems unbearable regardless of often I bear it. 🤷🏽♂️
If you had a black horse, what would you name it?
Trevor. Male or female, I’d name it Trevor.
Do you believe in aliens?
The possibility of other life in the universe, yes. Little green men secretly exploring our planet and sticking objects up human butts? No.
