BPP: If you could say something important you've learned all these years of your life, to the other people and they were able to listen to you, what would you like to tell them?

BPP: What is your real dream, the one that keeps you awake at nights and if one day it will come  true, you will feel your heart calm and peaceful?

Angela de la Tour - Yeend: My dream is to know that this world will be okay and that people can work together so it doesn't implode or explode with all the stress humans are dumping on it. And also to be with my son who passed away, sometimes i already dream that anyway.

BPP: How is life for the people in your country today? What do you wish to happen to them and to the people of this planet at large?

Angela de la Tour - Yeend: Life for people in Australia is ok on the surface but it's honestly a very racist country and people are nasty [the majority], and full of ego.

BPP: If you had the chance to be a child again,will you choose to do the same life you do?

Angela de la Tour - Yeend: If i was a child again i wouldn't change anything except maybe tell my mum to really talk to her kids, then maybe i wouldn't have run away at 14 for good.oh yeh and i'd tell my father that even though i only met him 3 times he deserved to die early, as he planted seeds but was a really terrible gardener.

BPP: Which exactly was the moment you understood what  you want to do in your life? How did you feel at this very moment?

Angela de la Tour - Yeend: There was no 'moment' as such, but when i was 17 i knew that i was going to be an artist and my dream was to drive trucks or a van and wear overalls and paint or draw on walls one day.i felt relieved but knew it would not be easy.

BPP: Something yours: Do you want to tell us something we didn't ask you until now?

Angela de la Tour - Yeend: I would like to tell the world to 'doublethink'. That word is made by Akala, a great young man and wordsmith.
