upper left circle - 'a stranger among friends, a friend among strangers.'

the rectangular thing - 'i like recent albums by Basement Jaxx and Spiritualised. I try listening to something new from all genres because it helps me create my own music. Music is something that's always with me, I can't imagine life without it. It's always inside of me.'

on his hair - "'it's a long road to true fame for me,' asserts Darren. A modest celebrity."

upper right circle - 'books are serious and for a long time, but magazines are pretty and convenient.'

box - 'recently I tried reading 'Lord of the Rings' because I really liked the movie but having read about 10 pages I realised that it would take a loooooooong time. It's much easier with magazines. I usually buy about 15 of them at the airport and read them during the flight. sometimes it's rather interesting. journals are fast, pretty, and easy.'

far right, under shady picture: 'G-d punishes the complacent, I am convinced now.'

under purple circle, mid-right - 'I love all the movies I'd seen as a kid. I adore Hitchcock ('s work), Indiana Jones, Star Wars - Hitchcock's 'Rear Window' s my favourite movie. I also enjoy films having something to do with San Francisco.'

underneath, in yellow font: 'on healthy eating and good company.' (next to it, it says: darren loves absolutely ALL of his fans.'

box (on food): 'I don't like noisy places commonly attended by the celebs. But I do have my favourite restaurants, usually they are in hotels. I simply adore them. usually, they have plenty of light. I prefer healthy food because I need to stay in shape. usually, I dine out with my friends but sometimes we get together at my place. I also like going out to eat with people I'd like to know better.'

mid-right: circle - 'a good lesson'

box - 'honestly, I don't consider myself to be that famous. It's a long road to true fame for me. I remember once we landed at the airport to a barrage of photographers [Note: the story from Parallel Lives about the journos in NZ is to follow]. I put on my dark sunglasses, came out with my collar raised up... and no reaction. the photographers are all standing doing nothing. Turned out they were waiting for some Olympic champion. It was a good lesson to me. G-d punishes those who love themselves.' [note: one word in english for this one?]

huge font: 'Darren Hayes likes brunettes, the rain, and friendship.'

bottom right, on top of pic of him by the microphone: 'Darren can't imagine life without music, his own and other people's'
