A minute with Mario K Lanzo Musician, artist

minute

Where do you live?
I live quite out of the city with my two dogs in a suburb of Nicosia, on the top floor of a building with a breathtaking view of the Troodos mountains

What did you have for breakfast?
This morning I had a BLT sandwich, scrambled eggs, a piece of chocolate cake, pancakes with honey and 3 mini croissants.

Describe your perfect day
Spend the day at the doggy beach in Protaras with my dogs, be lazy, eat a lot and drink plenty of iced cold beer!

Best book ever read?
Harry Potter. All the books! Deep inside, I’m a delusional nerd that really believes he is a wizard and one day an owl will drop in his mailbox an acceptance letter from Hogwarts.

Best childhood memory?
Spending time at my grandparents’ house in Kaimakli and weekends in Derynia, playing outside with my siblings and cousins. Oh boy I miss those days…!

What is always in your fridge?
Tonic water, soda, beer, wine and chocolate

What music are you listening to in the car at the moment?
Anything goes, my playlist is totally random. Could be classical music, 90s, 00s, pop, rock, metal, electronic, folk, etc. But my favourite when I drive, is Marilyn Manson’s music!

What is your spirit animal?
Hmm, I have the looks and the energy of a chimpanzee. I guess that answers the question? haha

What are you most proud of?
My family. I admire their patience with me all these years. Especially my brother who tolerated me playing the piano all day long!

What movie scene has really stayed with you?
The scene from 10 Things I Hate About You, when Patrick Verona (Heath Ledger) paid the school’s marching band to play the song Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You so he can sing along and impress Katarina Stratford (Julia Stiles). It was hilarious, especially at the end of the scene where he was detained by the school’s security. Haha

If you could time travel when/where would you go?
I would go back to the 90s and spend more time with my grandparents. I really miss them man…

What is your greatest fear?
Grasshoppers. Creepy crawling creatures!

What would you say to your 18-year-old self?
You’re worth more than you think. Don’t listen to anyone, trust yourself and embrace your mistakes. You’re doing great buddy 🙂

Name the one thing that would stop you dating someone
Misery. I can’t stand miserable people. Period!!!

If the world is ending in 24 hours, what would you do?
I would hug my dogs as much as possible, eat souvlaki, watch a movie and fall asleep on the couch until the end of everything!
