"My life sometimes feels like one long relay race between obsessive hobbies and so-called ambition. When at first I decided “I’m going to write”, I ended up spending all my time painting, so when I thought “right, I’m going to paint”, I spent all my time making little dub videos, then I thought “ok then, I’ll focus videos”, so naturally I started drawing again…"
