James Mathison
Getting to know James
My idea of a perfect meal
Chicken and sweet corn soup, Honey King prawns, Basil chilli chicken and a Frosty Fruit. Awesome
The person I’d most like to meet
Maybe Bob Dylan. Sure he'd be a cranky old fart, but that guy is a legend. Him and David Boon.
My greatest achievement
Giving birth to my first child. No wait, that's someone else. My greatest achievement was programming all the devices in my house to work off the one Universal Remote Control.
My teachers always said
"Now don't ever tell anyone about this. It’s our little secret."
My worst date ever
I took a girl to the movies once and was wearing like a pale blue shirt. I was so nervous through the whole thing though that when we came out and headed to dinner I had the most ridiculously large sweat patches under my arms. It looked like I had just gotten out of a step aerobics class. Fairy embarrassing.
The last time I cried
Was really bad. Funerals are the least fun you can ever have in a church.
I can’t live without
You. With OR without you.I f my family were hurt or seriously injured in any way, I would find it hard to ever get out of bed ever again. Can't live without them. Them and the Manly Warringah Sea Eagles. A proud and troubled team.
My most embarrassing moment
Its hard to top stuffing up one of the biggest lines in TV history, And the 2003 winner of Australian Idon is, Idon?? What does that even mean? Lets not dwell.I’d really like to
Write a book. Record an album.Go traveling for years and years. Start stretching. Make amends. Say sorry to her. Patch things up. Learn Piano. Buy an Island. Start up a record label.Write a film.Get out of here.
My greatest inspiration
Comes from books.
The greatest risk I ever took
Sleeping with that dutch girl in Mackay.
My favourite book is
Shantaram - Gregory David Roberts
If I wasn’t doing this job
I would be sitting behind a desk somewhere, in some office job that I can’t stand, watching the clock, and dreaming about the weekend. Or I'd work at Cash Converters. That has always been a dream of mine, don't quite know why.
