I wanted to use the hippo to get people out of their homes, away from the Internet and the TV, and to explore London with a new perspective.

Laughter can bring a new perspective.

It's a new perspective where I got a role in and they are just spewed out of my mouth.

Each day, as you get older, there is a new perspective on life. It's a progression of some sort.

The Internet is fascinating but also stupid in a way. You only see two-dimensional images, and you think you've seen it and know it.

I want people to get inspired by public space - their space. People tend to forget about it because they do the daily thing, but putting up these sculptures breaks the routine.
