Spellbound - Vol II Iss IV
© February 1996
From Bernhard S., Para Hills, SA, Australia -
Two questions for Iva:
1. Last year I spent 14 weeks travelling around Europe, had a ball, and
found some beautiful places (such as the Isle of Skye, the Black Forest,
Norway, Andorra, rural England, Berlin - I could keep going!) that I wish
I could just click my fingers and return. Does he have any particular
favourite European places?
2. Would he consider writing with Bob Kretschmer again? Or maybe getting
together with Paul Kelly, Greg Arnold (Things of Stone and Wood), David
Bridie (Not Drowning, Waving), Richard Pleasance, or Joe Camilleri? Just
curious. Just imagine the results!!!!
Iva's answer -
Stockholm is beautiful in the summer, it has that classical European feel.
London is depressing. I only actually got to spend one night in Paris
as a tourist, but I sort of liked it. The Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen
were beautiful, all fairy lit, when I walked through them one summer evening.
Oslo was nice, again in that old European way.
I've never been very good in a collaborative situation. I tend to like
to do things my way. That sort of hinders the process. Various collaborations
have occurred and have been difficult. John Oates was not difficult. He's
a very nice fellow but it was a difficult process for me because I felt
I was under a lot of pressure.
In terms of Bob, he played a fairly passive role in the sense that he
was really there as a sounding board more than anything. I couldn't identify
too many concrete ideas that came from Bob. It was more that Bob was encouraging.
In all those instances when you have two ways you can do something and
I would spend a half an hour trying to decide which one, I would say to
Bob, "I think maybe this one. What do you think?" and he would
say, "I think this one." I would go with it straight away. It
was a sort of time saving thing, really.
I really think I prefer to work on my own. Richard Pleasance is great…
Keith and I talked about this the other day. The only way I would be able
to collaborate with anybody would be via correspondence!
