Q - Do you feel more manly now you have shaved off your beard?

Steve - No not really Quentin, But I worry about face hair all the time and constantly manipulate my appearance and especially my hair style to try to look less like a thug.
 

Q - " I ain't no square with my corkscrew hair " . . discuss please.

Steve - Well, howard my Ringlets were an amusing and unforgettable stage in my hair career, they came after microphone, and before shaven haven.
 

Q - EINSTEIN is commonly accepted as a genius, can you name 3 geniuses and do you think that Maintaining a physically perfect brain has an effect on the above condition.

Steve - Einstein was a charlatan, Crispin, E=MC2 was first proposed  by a Belgian man who was known as Rudolf. If Einstein was here now I'd give him a piece of my mind, You see if i wouldn't.
- And three Geniuses :- 1). Bon Scott, 2). Nikola Tesla, 3). Me.

Q - Hollywood Parties, more or less Stimulating than other parties and such and such.. Please generalize.

Steve - In my experience a party is an anti-climax if you are not drunk enough, or not in the mood, and as a consequence I often miss the point when it comes to a party, being a bit of a moody bastard. I like those swinging parties though, although you have to go to two or three, before you can get into the gist of the thing if you know what I mean, and I hate people who are boring, and have always done the same things as you have but better, when they're not funny.

Q - Does a person's wide scope detract from the intensity of their personality? Do you prefer caricatures?

Steve - Both parts of a persona are not contrary. You often meet a character with great range, but who cannot advance an argument or make his point. Whereas, often people who are described as " in your face " are vacuous and apparently inane, however all you observe may be a complete falsehood that perpetuates, depending upon the crowd. I of course suffer from none of these faults, but often manipulate my image and demeanour as the mood takes me.

Q - Charities, the legal position, It is quite legal for charities to spend a large percentage of their income on " administration costs ". Discuss?

Steve - My position on charities is very clear Clint. It says in the bible, when a person decides to contribute to a charity, it should be on a sober basis, Nathaniel 5:13 People who bring collecting tins around public houses are taking advantage, and quite frankly it is a very dishonest occupation for a fair minded individual in this day and age.
     My suspicions, have been aroused, recently as to the manner and motive of these pub collecting leeches. I fancy that they are often paying some kind of private pennance, serving a community service order, or just plain stealing. The latter category extends from mere fraudulent collecting, right through to demanding money with menaces, which ought to be punishable by red hot poker up the " how's your father ", if you follow my drift.
     - My position on administration is equally lucid, It's all complete bullsh*t. There's nothing, in this country, to stop you from forming a beer drinking charity for rich children. And you could quite legally use an administration budget to get completely ripped to the tits every Friday afternoon. When everyone knows that you shouldn't buy booze for a baby!

Q - Do you have any more advide for pretenders to your throne?

Steve - Yes, my moto is People who think they're cool, are sad.
And this is true on many levels. No one knows more about physics today than Hawksy, but he knows more about what he doesn't know than what he does know.
- No one had the blues more than S.R.V. , but he had the blues because he realised how much he didn't have the blues - and how much more blues there was to have ! !
 - When Matchbox sung " Rockabilly Rebel " in 1875, they new that there were people who could be ten times more billy then them.
- When queen Victoria said to DAVID bECKENHAM, " I am not amused ", that was because she was amused to a higher level, and had a glimpse of how amused people a century later would be.

But she wasn't amused, she just said that she wasn't amused!
Therefore she wasn't sad..
Because she didn't thing she was cool !

This interview wasn't strictly sponsored by anyone, but five pints of Carlsberg Lager and one pint of Guinness were drunk, in the honour of journalism. And there's nothing wrong with that !!
