What’s the best sound in the world?
Almost surely it is the consoling swish of a bunch of new banknotes touching each other. But please, write instead something more suitable for publication, like "the elated giggle of a light-hearted child " or "the soothing purr of a content kitten".

In an essay printed on Asian Journal of Alternate Criminology, prof. Jeffrey Gutierrez has observed that your songs are "a dramatic quintessence of modernistic symbolic deconstructivism". Any comment?
In his recent letter appeared on Transactions on Psychological Studies, dr. Keith L. Martinez completely disproved that incoherent observation.

What do you think about the international situation?
It's hard to figure it when you spend your days in a pink cloud pampered by adoring fans, but on our torn planet there are places where it is difficult to find even an almost decent Long Island iced tea.

Brian, which is your favorite fruit?
It is called "Brian's surprise". In the middle of one of my studies in the Hymalayas, I discovered a little new plant, now named Rhizosponnana amara, that blooms only every 7 years. It then gives fruits whose taste reminds of bananas and coal. You have to be filthy rich even to find it unpleasant...

Where will you go on your next break from work?
For my next holiday I leased a luxurious villa on the secluded hills of Qurac. The only issue was making a transfer in Linden dollars to the good-natured property owner from Nigeria that contacted me about deal by email.

Which is your forthcoming musical adventure?
Next week I'll release an experimental recording of rap covers of Joe Cocker greatest hits, sung in Albanian, Finnish and Chinese. I worked on it for 3 years.

Brian, should you give up singing, which kind of career would you pick up?
Almost surely that of sunset photographer, since I already have quite an experience in that field.

When you were a little boy, did you see singing as a possible profession?
Might as well! Even though it actually was my second choice. First one was king of the World. Or maybe bartender, I could never decide.
