WINDSOR TWENTY-SIX | HETEROSEXUAL | PARAMEDIC | EMERGENCY CREW | ANDREW GARFIELD THE INTERVIEW HELLO. THANKS FOR COMING IN TODAY. SHALL WE START WITH YOUR NAME? "Why hello there. No, it's my pleasure, really. The name is the best place to start, I'm Christian Noel Windsor, most people call me Chris. I don't mind either way, Christian or Chris, I answer to both. I don't really have an nicknames, if I do people don't call me them to my face. So, to my knowledge, I don't have any." THAT'S A NICE NAME. WHAT DO YOU DO FOR A LIVING? "Yes, yes, it's a wonderful name, my parents thought as much. I'm a paramedic, I drive around in a fancy ambulance saving people's lives. It's not as glorious as people seem to think, there is a lot of death in the job, but at the same time it's very rewarding. Knowing that I'm the reason some people are still alive is great, makes me feel like I'm making a difference in the world. I couldn't think of anything else I'd rather be doing with my life." INTERESTING. WHAT DO YOU DO FOR FUN? "Oh gosh, what don't I do for fun. I'm kidding of course, there are a great deal of things I don't do, running around with a gun for example. I like to think I have fun, I know my idea of fun is probably a lot different to others, but I find it fun and that's all that matters to me. I don't drink a lot like many people I know do, I haven't touched a drug that wasn't something prescribed or for a small bit of pain, my idea of fun involves a couch and at times a television. I do a lot of sitting around when I'm not working, playing video games, watching what some would call geeky movies, reading comic books or just books. That's what I think of as fun. Those aren't the only things I do for fun though, sometimes I go out, spend some time with friends, which I seem to have a lot of, occasionally I do drink, go to a party or out clubbing, but that doesn't happen very often, though I do find it fun." WOULD YOU SAY THOSE ACTIVITIES REFLECT WHO YOU ARE? "Well, I'd assume as much, right? I'm sure I wouldn't be nearly the same person without them, would I? I think it shows that I am a fun, geeky guy who enjoys spending a lot of quiet time delving into fantasy worlds instead of facing the real one. That would be right, to an extent as I have no problem with facing the real world, it's just that I find these made up worlds a lot more fun and exciting. That's not saying the real world isn't exciting, because it is, but in these made up ones I get to be someone I'd never be in this world and that idea is much too enticing to resist. On top of that though, as I assume this is a what am I like question, I think I am a nice guy, something of a gentleman. I was raised to be a gentleman and now I strive do at least be something of one, in honour of my mother who passed not too long ago, she was an amazing woman, but this is about me, so I'll move on. As I was saying, I'm something of a gentleman, I'm kind to almost all that I come across, but if they give me a reason to be less than kind I will be just that. I can be quite the jerk when the time calls for it and it seems that the time calls for it far too often in this place. I'm not saying that I throw the jerk side of me around, I try my best to be nice to everyone, it's just a little difficult at times. I can be what is called a smart-arse at times, sarcasm tends to spill from my mouth more often than not. I know some people can take offence to those sarcastic things I say, but I never mean any offence, I just make a few jokes here and there, okay so here and there is a little bit of an understatement, I do it a lot more than that. I can hold a grudge at times, I don't think I mean to, I just do, I've had this one grudge since i was fourteen, but that's talk for another time, or question maybe. So, let's move on shall we." A COOL CAT LIKE YOU MUST HAVE A TON OF SUITORS FLOCKING TO YOU, HUH? "Oh gosh, not really. Okay, so maybe there are a few but I don't really pay that much attention to them. Oh dear, that sounded terrible, I don't ignore them but I just kindly tell them I'm not interested, but if they persist I kindly tell them to bugger off, easy as. I don't really date much, that's not saying I haven't dated before or done anything else, believe me I have, I just don't go around being all desperate for it. There is this girl at the moment though, she sure is something, I don't know what it is but I think she is just brilliant. Anyway, next?" COOL BEANS. THEY SAY YOUR FAMILY SHAPES WHO YOU ARE. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF YOURS? "I'm sorry, but cool beans? I'm not sure I've heard term before, what does it mean? Never mind, it doesn't matter. Now, you asked about family, right? Wonderful. Well there's my mother, or well she's not around any more, but she raised me and my two brothers back in England. She was a good woman, possibly the best woman I've ever known. It was a terribly sad moment when she passed, I didn't sleep properly for days, had to go all the way back to England, long trip but I wouldn't have done less for that woman. She made me who I am today, I owe her everything. And now that leads us to my father, poor excuse of one if you ask me and my brothers, left us when I was fourteen, I've never forgiven him and I never will. He left my mother with nothing, she didn't even have a job. She raised all three of us into wonderful young men, or at least she it for me. I think I put a lot of pressure on myself being the oldest, I was the man of the family or so to speak, but taht doesn't matter now. I get along with my brothers, one still lives in England, I'm not really sure what he's doing. My other brother lives here in Brunswick, we're pretty close, it's wonderful." AND YOUR LIFE? TELL ME ABOUT YOUR PAST. I'M EAGER TO HEAR. "Born and raised in Manchester, the oldest of three brothers. My life was fairly normal, at least according to me, I had all the same experiences as all the other children in my neighbourhood and my school and all that. There's really not much to tell about my childhood, it was really all fairly boring, oh but there was the alcoholic father that came and went, even from a young age I knew there was something amiss there, it turned out that he was cheating on her with some barmaid from the pub he frequented. Of course we didn't know that until later, but the signs were all there, everyone was just to stupid to see them, blinded by whatever it was that blinded them, the fools. Anyway, that man is the only man I could ever hate, I haven't hated a man since, or a woman for that matter. I was fourteen when he left myself, my mother and brothers for the barmaid. It wasn't her fault, she was a wonderful lady, he just couldn't keep it in his pants and she wound up pregnant. It was why he left us, for that other child. He left us for his other family, I'll never forgive him, not in a million years. After that I put a great deal of pressure on myself to be there for my mother and brothers, being the oldest I assumed that it was my duty. But when I failed my mother did twice as good, she was amazing, if I could only be half the person she was. Anyway, life went on fairly normally, I lived in Manchester with my family for a good many years afterwards. I didn't move to America until I was twenty, firstly settling in New York. There I did my paramedics course and worked for a year before moving to Brunswick, I don't know why I moved really, I suppose I just wanted a change of scenery, or something of the like. I've been here ever since, so I'd say I've been here for about three years now, roughly, my memory isn't too great at the moment. I think I like it here, I'll stay for a long while, at least that's the plan, for the moment." What about a secret? Everyone has a secret. "And here I was thinking that you'd skipped right over asking me about these stupid things. Secrets, why do people always want to know them? Personally, I hate them, horrid things that should never exist, but with that said I do hold one, I don't tell anyone this, why asked why I chose to go into the medical profession I simply make up some simple lie about how I wanted to help people, which I suppose isn't all too untrue. When I was younger, well not too young as I was in New York at the time, I killed a man. Well, when I say i killed him I mean I had quite the hand in his death. If I had just stayed I could have saved him, if I had just stayed and not run off like the coward I was. I did one of those famous hit and runs, I hit this guy with my car, people saw it and everything, they just didn't see me and I am ever so thankful for that. After ten minutes I got my courage up and returned to the scene, but the man was dead, he was in the ambulance but he was dead. It was then that I decided that I wanted to be in the medical profession, I wanted to make up for the fact that this man's death was on my hands, I needed to clean my conscience. I still don't feel like I've made up for it, despite the lives that I've saved. I hope that was what you were asking for, I don't feel like telling anything more, at least nothing this personal." ALRIGHT. TIME'S ALMOST UP. TELL ME ABOUT YOUR DREAMS. QUICK! "Well, I'm kind of where I want to be, career wise, yes I've wanted to be a paramedic for a good while, or really just in the medical profession somewhere. But I think it would be wonderful if in ten years I have myself a family, a wife and two children. I'll be thirty-six yet, a great age for a family I think." AND THAT'S A WRAP. IT WAS NICE GETTING TO KNOW YOU. "Well thank you for taking an interest in me and my ever so boring life. It was a pleasure."
