Maybe I don't think I'm touching people, but I am. Sometimes I'm sitting there at three in the morning, proofreading something, and I'm thinking, Is this really worth it? Or am I doing this only because my mother taught me never to give up? Then you realize, no, even if it doesn't come back to you, you are touching people.

I carry a knife with me so I can cut images out of cardboard boxes. I'm always cutting cardboard. Especially every Thursday, which is recycling day.

Every time I work on a project, I keep every little piece of paper.

I love thoroughness. I respect people that do a job well.

I'm a collector. I was born a collector. I came out of the womb a collector. I can trace it back to childhood - collecting used keys.

As I'm getting older, I'm moving away from calculations and measurement. I'm trying to be more open to vulnerability and mistakes.

I like the authentic object, and I have no problem paying sixty dollars for a T-shirt if it fits me really well and it's really well made. I like unassuming clothes.
