oliver grayson wyatt.
OLI. TWENTY-SEVEN. AUGUST TENTH. HETEROSEXUAL. MUSICIAN. SOLO ARTIST. RYAN GOSLING.
EIGHT INTERVIEW QUESTIONS.
"just for the camera, could you give us a short introduction?"
hi. i'm oliver wyatt. i'm a scorpio and i enjoy long walks on the beach. just kidding. i'm a leo.
"it's great to see you. i can't seem to go anywhere these days without seeing/hearing about you, how does that feel?"
really? my god, i'm sorry. it's...it's a bit much. people are going to get sick of me. i'm sick of me. [laughs] no, but in all honesty, it's very flattering.
"i hear you have a thing for horror movies, how did that happen?"
well, i grew up with three sisters and when i was eight, we stayed up one night to watch silence of the lambs. my parents had gone to bed, we thought we were being rebellious. and uhm, the movie scared the hell out of me, so naturally i had to watch more horror movies. [shrugs] now i can't stop.
"how does your love for those movies influence your music?"
i like ghosts and monsters under the bed, so that's what my music is about. i wanted the songs to be theatrical, like they could have been written for a movie.
"so you record all the music by yourself, why the decision to stay solo?"
it's simple, i don't have friends. i'm too bossy.
"your ex, jessica cohen was recently spotted cozying up to a certain male co-star. how do you feel about that?"
don't. if she's happy, then i'm happy for her. jessica was the love of my life, but things didn't work out. it happens.
"i see you're on the lineup for the live wire tour, excited?"
i've been waiting my whole life for this opportunity. i'm still having to remind myself that it's actually true.
"and finally, which new songs from the album can we expect to hear?"
i haven't figured it out. i guess you'll just have to come watch and find out.
SEVEN PERSONALITY TRAITS.[/font]
reserved. if oliver has a choice, he typically keeps to himself. he doesn't like having his life open to discussion and he generally manages to stay quiet about his private life. oliver is only open with people that are close to him. it may take a couple conversations before he'll open up.
deadpan. oliver's sense of humor isn't always clear and there are times when it's very difficult to tell when he's joking. the truth is, oliver is a very happy, outgoing person and he never means to offend anyone. however, his blunt humor is not always understood and he can come off as rude or obnoxious.
charming. it's not that oliver tries to flirt with everybody he meets, he just has a very nice approach towards people. this sometimes translates to oliver being a huge flirt. it doesn't help that he has the need to try and win people over. oliver is scared of getting on anybody's bad side.
arrogant. after being bullied and ignored most of his life, oliver has made a drastic change from the kid he was in high school. his music has finally taken off and he has a body to match, it's no wonder that he can be a bit stuck-up about it. while he tries to tone it down and not let it get to his head, it's a bit hard sometimes.
independent. as a solo artist, oliver only has himself to depend on. while his sisters constantly try to take care of him, they have their own lives, and oliver tries not to lean on them too much. however, this means that oliver doesn't always immediately recognize when people are trying to help him. when he's going through a difficult time, he has the tendency to shut people out.
distracted. oliver has the curiosity of a four year old. along with that curiosity, comes a very short attention span. he likes to explore and when he's involved with something, it's very difficult to get his attention.
caring. it's incredibly difficult to anger oliver. after years of being pushed around, he's learned to let it roll off his shoulders. he genuinely cares about other people and will do his best to help anyone. anyone that's met oliver can tell that he likes to get to know people and his interest is sincere.
SIX SONGS ON SHUFFLE.[/font]
so american - portugal. the man | if vain was a color to paint in you, your heart would be the color blue. be a gradient from there, until your body met your hair, which remain a silver. you are the one they call jesus christ, who didn't know no rock and roll.
love is blindess - jack white | i'm in a parked car on a crowded street, and i see my love made complete. the thread is ripping. the knot is slipping. love is blindness. love is clockworks and it's cold steel. fingers too numb to feel.
beast - nico vega | stand tall for the beast of america. lay down like a naked dead body. keep it real for the people working overtime, they can't stay living off the government's dime. little birds looking down at the battle grounds, can't fly if the wind ain't kind.
big jet plane - angus and julia stone | she said 'hello mister, pleased to meet you'. i wanna hold her, i wanna kiss her. she smelled of daises, she smelled of daises. she drive me crazy, she drive me crazy. gonna take her for a ride on my big jet plane.
polish girl - neon indian | it's been at least another year and i still haven't got the chance to say. always rolling off the tongue, never said but nearly sung about a million ways. every photograph and story, trickled through the length web of friend.
broken crown - mumford & sons | the pull on my flesh was just too strong. stifled the choice and the air in my lungs. better not to breathe than to breathe a lie. 'cause when i opened my body i breathe in a lie.
