Q. Which three Bond clothes or accessories do you wear the most?
A. I've never worn designer clothes. I've pondered getting a Turnbull & Asser shirt, but never got around to it.

Q. If you could keep only 1 item of your Bond collection, what would it be?
A. Photocopy of Richard Maibaum's 1961 Thunderball script (the very first script written for Eon, when Eon initially planned making Thunderball the first movie).

Q. What is your most popular post/video?
A. From Tailors With Love made short videos from an interview with me. It would be one of those.

Q. Which Bond location do you still want to visit?
A. I've been to India but not where Octopussy was filmed. I'd like to get up there.

Q. If you could meet any Bond actor (even if they’re no longer with us), who would that be and why?
A. Roger Moore, from what I know, sounds like he would be pleasant to hang out with. (Connery is my favorite Bond).

Q. Which Bond-related song do you want to add to the Bond Lifestyle Playlist on Spotify / YouTube?
A. You Only Live Twice.

Q. Rolex or Omega?
A. I wear a 25-year-old, modest (stainless steel) Rolex. I won it in a writing contest for an article I did about Formula One when F-1 was going to Indianapolis.
