Doing anything in Japan as a sort of architecture - related project is just fantastic because they do everything so perfectly and so quickly. It's unlike anywhere else in the world.

And where I grew up in Australia, surfing was a part of culture.

I never buy magazines, I never even buy books.

Then I started to do furniture and interiors for a friend and just to get stuff in a magazine, and then slowly started to build up and started to doing exhibitions.

I've always listened to a lot of film music, actually.

You know like it has its own personality, its own character.

You know that's history, that's why some people say that my stuff is retro, but I don't agree.
