Paige Toon Revealed

Paige Toon Q. What is your motto or maxim? A. Think the worst and you'll be pleasantly surprised Q. What are your 5 favorite songs? A. These change all the time. A few years ago when I wrote Lucy and Johnny, it was: Radiohead's Talk Show Host, The Verve's Bittersweet Symphony, U2's With Or Without You, Kingmaker's You And I Will Never See Things Eye To Eye, and The Killers' When You Were Young. But I wrote The Longest Holiday listening mainly to songs like Kal Lavelle's Shiver (this reminds me of Leo), Ellie Goulding's Anything Could Happen, Ai Se Eu Te Pego! which has a fun Latin feel, Youth by Daughter, and a few of James Arthur's songs which he performed on The X Factor! Q. If you could eat only one thing for the rest of your days, what would it be? A. Pasta with tomato, basil, mozzarella and parmesan. Q. What is your biggest pet peeve? A. I'm pretty intolerant of incompetence. I also get annoyed with the daily calls from telemarketers. At our old house in London they always used to ask to speak to Mrs Shambalah - who? Now they're always electronic recordings so you rush to the phone and have to slam it down in disgust. Q. With whom in history do you most identify? A. I wouldn't have a clue! Someone with a tendency to be a little melodramatic, probably. Learn more about Paige Toon
