Advice:
Do what you love
Find authenticity in what you do
Have no fear
And look for innovation
Look for trust and be respectable
Know when to quit
Prepare
Be able to dance with the unknowing actor
When in the situation try to still be creative
Unique experiences lead to different perspectives
Secrets are not interesting, what is interesting is what you do with the secrets
The creative industries in general have very little vision
Stop caring about what other people are going to think
Don’t look for permission on what you wish to do creatively
Be sincere and genuine
