Chris Ewan Revealed

Q. What is your motto or maxim? A. Suck it up. Q. If you could be anywhere in the world right now, where would you choose to be? A. Too hard to pick one. It would have to come down to either an apartment overlooking the Herengracht canal in Amsterdam, a bar in Soho, New York, or a quiet bench on the edge of Lake Brienz, Switzerland. Q. What are your most overused words or phrases? A. Basically. Dude. Alright? Cheers. Q. What’s your greatest fear? A. Snakes. On. A. Plane. (Or maybe a shark in my local swimming pool). Q. If you could be any person or thing, who or what would it be? A. Hmm. I think I'd like to be one of those scriptwriters who sit around a table, drinking take-out coffee and sharing ideas with a whole group of other writers, putting together a great US sitcom. If there's a sociable way to write, I think that has to be it.
