Coffee or tea?

Coffee. Or ginger tea. Black tea is just a poor man’s coffee.

When are you happiest?

Under a European sun. I’m such a cliché.

The cleanest air you’ve ever breathed was in…

Portsea, the southernmost tip of Australia’s Mornington Peninsula.

If you could go back in time, which era would you live in?

The 1920s: Art Deco, jazz, flapper dresses, and Surrealism. Yes, please.
