"Not an unwanted Christmas gift, but I did sell one of my court shirts on Trade Me when I needed to raise funds to pay a court cost once.
"I sold it for $140 to a guy that wanted to wear it to a protest at Parliament.
"He loved that shirt.
"I was in jail at the time too — they didn’t like it but it happened."
... peed in a pool?
"In the sea I have, probably about 100m offshore."
... got a tattoo you regret?
"I’ve got no tattoos whatsoever. In most of the prison blocks I was ever in I was probably the only one in prison who didn’t have a tattoo, including in D block.
"I don’t even remember any other prisoners who didn’t have tattoos.
"I did most of my time in maximum and high security — maybe in some of the minimum or something they wouldn’t have them."
... stretched the truth on your CV?
"I’ve never done a CV, ever. I usually get hired to do my work by word of mouth or people who know me.
"I’m sort of retired now, so I don’t need to do one."
... been arrested?
"Many times."
... Taken a sick day so you could watch that Netflix series you’re addicted to?
"I have taken a sick day off from my own work to watch Netflix.
"Not ones I was addicted to but ones I like.
"I loved Trailer Park Boys and Queen of the South on Netflix. I like those FBI ones and some of the old ones.
"I like YouTube mainly. I like to watch the old documentaries and movies that came out while I was in jail and couldn’t see them."
