I stay up late, I don’t clean my desk, I make accidents, my first drafts of anything are often random mistakes, most of my best ideas happen when I’m not working, I think computers really fuck things up (that comes from Tibor Kalman, actually), I’ve been avoiding award competitions like the plague, I ask stupid questions, imitate, drift, scat, jump fences and most important,
