I like to work fast. I despise not having the right tool or, worse, knowing I have it but not being able to find it. It's a pointless delay that wrecks my pace - and mood.

I find fragrance to be such a mood enhancer and definitely a seduction tool.

I've learned over decades of building that a deadline is a potent tool for problem-solving.

I was cranked to a fifth gear, and everything I did, I did on a deadline.

If someone is sad, they put on a song, or if someone wants to rock out, and they want to get into a good mood, they put on music. Just being able to be a part of something like that I feel like was my ultimate push to do music.

Again, like I said, my life has been about being fascinated by objects and the stories that they tell, and also making them for myself, obtaining them, appreciating them and diving into them.
