Countdown magazine June 85. Q & A from Alison in QLD.

Q  How much do you weigh & what is your height?
A  I weigh 8 1/4 stone and I am taller than Angry Anderson but shorter than Doc Neeson.
Q  What is the thing you wear around your neck? Ive only seen one photo out of billions where you've been without it.
A  The thing around my neck is scarf or neckerchief. I have several of them. They hide the scars on my neck from where I tried to hang myself when I was 15 (ha ha).
Q  Do you always wear those skin tight pants?
A  No I only wear the skin tight pants when we are performing live.
Q  Where did you get the idea for your song Everybody Wants to Work? Is it relating to you somehow ? (Not that I'm saying you're lazy or anything).
A  It was originally written as Everybody Wants To Dance until a friend suggested we change it to Work. The song doesnt relate to anyone specifically, the whole point is that its a song for everyone.
