Creativity comes from spontaneous meetings, from random discussions.

We have always been shameless about stealing great ideas.

There are those who build careers and companies just out of being popular on Instagram, but theres nothing behind them.

Fame, do I like it? No. It has bought a lot for me in my career, but there are a lot of downsides to it. You give up your privacy. I did it to myself but not to my family and friends. You don’t ask for it. You just have to live with it.
