I have a girlfriend at the moment and this is my first love ever. To be honest, I don't see myself with anyone but her so hopefully just one marriage.Do you think you'll go to your high school reunion?
Definitely. I reckon it will be cool because there are a lot of people who have the potential to be famous, like models and pro surfers. There are a lot of skilled people and talented athletes from my school so hopefully I can get some autographs later on.Are you going to keep partying hard forever?
Well no, I was in a very bad way the other night and I went to hospital so I'm never drinking again. That's it for drinking for me

If I start getting fat I'll stop but while my metabolism is still kicking I'm going to keep partying.

I've been offered [drugs] on the street but it's really scary, I don't want to get locked up.Oh but also, we have this friend who's really funny and weird and on Tuesday afternoon he came strolling in with a box and a chain and bananas and he goes, "Meet Pablo, the monkey." Then he locked it in his bathroom and it became his pet for three days and then he had to chuck it out.Isn't that a bit cruel? How do you "chuck out" a monkey?
Yeah it's really cruel but it's pretty funny, like we all had a pet monkey for three days at schoolies. He handed it back when the room needed to get cleaned and now it's on a chain out the front of our hotel, so it's everyone's pet now.Heavy. So what's next after finishing high school? What are your hopes and dreams for the future?
I'm planning to have a gap-year and then work heaps and save and then travel. I want to go to Hawaii for about four months and work there with my sister. Then hopefully I'll go to uni the year after and study to be a primary-school teacher.
Kim: I'd like to go to uni in Melbourne or Sydney and study wildlife and conservation biology.What are your hopes and dreams for the future?
I'd really like to see a change in how humans treat the world. I'm really passionate about nature and global warming is really worrying.

I'd say fucked up. But the positive part of me says maybe people will start to realise what they are doing to the planet and each other. Maybe there will be positive changes. But I'm not as optimistic as I'd like to be.Are you going to get married?
I don't really believe in marriage. It can work out—for my parents it worked out—but I think in a lot of cases it ends up ruining it because people stop acting in a way that nurtures the relationship. I think it's ancient and we don't need it. It's just a piece of paper after all.Are you going to keep partying hard forever?
No. I'm Italian so I love wine and dancing and having fun but I think you've got to grow up at some point. You can have fun and enjoy your life, you don't have to be rigid, but you can get that sense of happiness and fun and enjoyment from other things. Partying is not the only way.Follow Nat on Twitter
