~~ Part 2 ~~
TU: This is your first CD as a solo, what does it feel to be alone in the stage?
DH: Incredible! In fact, when I was in Savage Garden, was a little similar, because I was
the vocalist of the band, so there wasn't a drastic change. Since I was a child, be a
solist and famous was one of my dreams, and this is so cool. This is a change, is
something different and a big challenge for me.
TU: You still are the writer of your songs, in what places do you like to write?
DH: Besides that is my passion, the music is also my work, then I have to be disciplined.
Generally I do in the studio, there I can concentrate totally and take out the best of me.
And so I can transmit the correct message to my fans.
TU: What do you sing when you take a shower?
DH: I never sang my songs and I like to listened to the radio when I take a shower, so I
sing every song that it's in it, since Eminen to Madonna.
TU: When you travel, is there something you miss so much?
DH: Of course! I miss the routine and do some things, like waking up and doing anything or
going to eat to my favorite restaurant. Really, I don't miss material things, but the
simple routine that you could have when you are stable in some place. Sometimes you miss
your normal life, because when you are traveling you lost a little contact with the
reality and I like to be stuck to the ground.
TU: Before you were famous, were you fan of somebody?
DH: I never was a fan, I did like Michael Jackson, Bono, Madonna and Prince, but I've
never do something strange to see them, it was never in my plans to meet them nor that
they were my friends, I only admired them so much. As a musician you think more in "I
want to be like them".
TU: How is a normal day in your life?
DH: When I don't work, it's the more relaxing. I love breakfast! This is the time I take
care of myself more, and the thing I like more it's to be in a nice place or, if I'm lazy,
in my bed. I like to spend hours in my home relaxing, reading, shopping and going to the
movies. In the afternoon I like to go to the market to buy some things and go back home
and cook and invite some friends.
TU: What do you like to do when you see your friends?
DH: I love to cook for them and invite to my house to talk for hours.
TU: Which is your speciality?
DH: The barbecue, chicken or meat, and I love to cook Hawaiian style.
TU: Which has been your worse embarrassment of your life?
DH: When I went to school, once my pants broke completely, obviously this was the worse
that happened to me, specially because all my classmates laughed at me.
TU: We know you have a pet, what do you do when you are together?
DH: I have a dog, but sadly he lives in Australia and I live in America. I know that this
look strange, but take him here is a problem, I have to leave him in quarantine and get
millions of permits, so he stayed with my family. He's so spoiled and likes to be treated
like a baby. When I go to Australia, we love to lay in a couch and watch TV as I scratch
his stomach. When I can I take him to malls, because if I leave him at home, he stays
crying. When I was in Savage Garden he was with me in the stages and I think that he liked
there.
TU: Would you like to act in the future?
DH: Yes, but not like Britney Spears did, I wouldn't like to be the star of the movie; in
fact, I'd like to do a musical play. My true passion is music, and I'd like to combine
them.
TU: Where do you like to go on vacations?
DH: I love any place with beach and sun, and Hawaii is my favorite place. |
