  external: James Mathison from Australia... Nov 2, 2007 (Score: 2)
  

As at August 2007, James resides in Manly, Sydney, Australia. (edit) James's nicknames are Jim and Jimmy. (edit) Kyle Sandilands unloaded abuse on James in a Zoo Magazine article, but James brushed it off as something said by someone who doesn't understand how much work other people involved with Australian Idol put in to get the show on-air. James has described Kyle as someone who is difficult to work with who just comes out of his dressing room, does his thing, and leaves. (edit) James’ first job was a Pump jockey. (edit) James’ favourite site on the Internet is www men who look like kenny rogers .com (edit)

James: (on his most nervous interview) The first interview I ever did was with Destiny's Child and I was packing it. I thought they'd ease me off with some local pub band but no, straight in at the deep end. I was terrified! (edit) James: (on Delta Goodrem at the 2003 ARIAs) She won everything in 2003 but Delta Goodrem told me a really comical story about having to wear a wig, as she was having chemotherapy at the time. Every time someone hugged Delta to congratulate her, the only thing she could think about was whether it would fall off. She couldn’t stop laughing about it. (edit) James: (on the “Australian Idol“ finale) I’m a big music fan, so it’s exciting when there’s been a lot happening locally to get everybody into the same room for one big hurrah and to let off some confetti cannons. And to drink loads. Let’s not beat around the bush - it’s a big part of what the night’s about. (edit) James: (describing his job of ‘anchor presenter‘ on “Australian Idol“) It’s a term similar to “host”, but with a lot less pressure. You’ve basically got other people to blame if it all goes wrong. (edit) James: (his crushes on rock stars) I used to luuuurve Wendy James from Transvision Vamp. Nowadays Fiona Apple and Kellis and the two that really flick my switch. (edit)
