Tom Williams (III)

Tom: (the funniest thing he's read about himself) Gay rumours give me a giggle. Try explaining to people you live in a suburb called Manly and you're single, tall, neat and thin. Of course they're going to think you're gay.

Tom: (asked if he's ever Googled himself) Yeah! Who hasn't? There are plenty of other Tom Williamses in the world, though. I was in a hotel in Aspen, years ago, and there was another Tom Williams staying there who was a doctor. My friend called his room by mistake and said, "Hurry up, numb-nuts, the bar's about to close." His wife, who picked up the phone, wasn't very impressed.

Tom: (asked which celebrity is his most in awe of) Greg Norman. He's a really nice guy and very smart. I actually told him that I've borrowed his sign-off. When he signs something he'll write, "Attack life. Greg Norman." So I said to him, "I have to tell you, I've been borrowing your tagline a little bit, here and there!" Attack life - it's a good one.

Tom: (asked what his all-time favourite holiday destination is) Byron Bay, NSW, is my nirvana. I love It! I'm a creature of habit, too, so I always go back to the same place. Same pub, bands, restaurants, friends and waves.
