Claim to fame:
The record-breaking number one hit, "Truly Madly Deeply" and top ten single
"To The Moon & Back."
Q: How did you and Darren Hayes beat the odds and become one of the
biggest-selling bands?
A: We were playing the local bar for the 700th time, and there were
the same 20 people turning up drunk and throwing bottles. We channeled
that frustration into determination.
Q: Have you always been called Savage
Garden?
A: We were called Crush, then we realized there was (already a band
with that name) in England that was storming up the
charts.
Q: Is it tough to be in such a small band?
A: When you are working this closely with someone, sometimes you can't
see what they see. That's hard, but we usually have the same
vision.
Q: You're on your world tour for the next year. What's that
like?
A: Very unstable. I've always been a very stubborn person, stuck
in my ways. And when I'm being dragged around the world, to hotel after
hotel, after a while I get sick of it.
Q: Would you ever date a fan?
A: Yeah, if we were introduced by a mutual friend or something, but
I'd never pick out a girl from the front row of a concert. Girls attracted
to my onstage persona aren't attracted to the real me.
