There's no way that you can digest years of work in a minute. You can get the gist of it, but not the full body or the breadth of it. The weight of it.
I never thought I'd be a business owner. I was in marketing and advertising in the fashion industry, and I actually found an old cassette from many years ago when I went to Europe for the first time and someone sent me to my first psychic and I found the cassette and I talked about this vision I had of what my life was going to be and he started laughing and said, you'll be a small business owner. And I said, oh, no, no, no, no, I will be this.
When you listen to us, or you watch us, I know that you're giving us space in your life. That is as precious as the space in the artist's life, or my life.
