American singer-songwriter Valerie June (Press Handout)

1. If I could collaborate with one other Latitude artist it would be

Conor Oberst.

2. The thing I’m most looking forward to at Latitude is

Going shopping for cool festival wares!

3. The worst lie I’ve ever told was

4. My secret talent is

Drawing.

5. My life motto is

Dream big!

6. Dream dinner party guests would be

On a beachside with crystal clear water and a full harvest moon.

The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho.

8. If there was a film about my life, my character would be played by

Lisa Bonet.

9. I’d like to get lost in the Faraway Forest with

A journal and The Mist of Avalon and excellent red wine.

10. What’s in your festival picnic hamper

A bikini and thongs (the shoes).
