Q&A With Something For Kate
Newcastle Herald, November 8 2001

Full name: Stephanie Ashworth 
Date of birth: 28/10/80 ha! 
Earliest memory: Reaching up to try and reach a door handle ... unsuccessfully. 
Childhood pin-up: The Smiths and Jimmy Dean. 
Silliest thing you've done: Apparently I swam in very close vicinity with sharks in the water in Thailand last year. 
Bravest thing you've done: Get in rental cars alone with Clint (band mate) on LA freeways - neither of us have any sense of direction or navigational skill. 
Is image all about hair: Unfortunately it does seem that hair takes precedence over one's innate sense of style. 
Favourite indulgence: Marinated tofu. 
Worst habit: Uncontrollable pessimism. 
Three things you would take to a desert island: What's the point of bringing anything? I'm only going to die an early and uncomfortable death anyway. Seriously though, I'd take my boy, a vast amount of chocolate and many cigarettes.
Favourite kitchen appliance: Garlic crusher. 
Whom do you most admire: My partner. 
If a movie was made of your life, who would play you: I would love it to be Cate Blanchett. She's what I call a fine woman of quality. 
Tea or coffee? Irish Breakfast tea with honey and full cream milk.
