Over to Paul:

Thank you so much for your time. So, Louboutin or Converse?
I could look Louboutin up but I am notoriously lazy. Con verse definitely.

What do you do?
React.

Why is there no one in the world who does it quite like you?
There are plenty who do it better, no one else would want to do it like me.

What do you really, really love about it?
It's fun.

A bit more time in the day, or a bit more money in the bank?
Time is the only commodity. Money can buy time.

Imagine you “make it”. You wake up, and imagine the day ahead. Tell us about breakfast.
If I'm making it, it will bacon and eggs. Otherwise, leave it up to the chef.

What’s your Jimmy Choo? And what’s just cobblers?
Is Jimmy Choo some kind of a hipster? I'm an old man, I don't havetime for this question, it's cobblers.

Tell us about the last time a fan made you feel 100 feet tall.
I don't have fans, they blow an ill-wind.

Independent and poor, or under contract and rich?
A completely different world in which we all can be independent and generating just enough surplus to be happy. Why is that so difficult?

Do you remember that bit on Play Away where Brian Cant stood behindpeople and did the actions whilst they spoke? If you could chooseanyone to stand behind you and do the actions to your sales pitch, who would it be and why?
No I don't, I must have been drunk that night. Takeshi Kitano is under contract for the job already.

Frocks or socks?
Clothes are for wimps.
