Die zwei Impulse auf Reisen sind, sich von zu Hause zu entfernen, und der andere ist etwas zu verfolgen - eine Landschaft, Menschen, ein exotischer Ort. Auf jeden Fall einen Ort zu finden, den Sie mögen, oder etwas Ungewöhnliches zu entdecken, ist auf Reisen eine sehr nachhaltige Sache.

I was a tax attorney for something like seven years, so I was a tax geek. I was really into it. Tax is one of those things that people think is incredibly boring, but like any science about systems, once you get into it it, becomes incredibly intricate and interesting.

Hat-making is laborious and time-consuming. It's a very tactile medium, and you can develop the skills, but it's one of those things: you either have it, or you don't. I love bringing something to fruition with my hands that gives people pleasure.

Philip Treacy

Jeff Eastin is good in that he'll tell me a plot twist that's coming up if he thinks it would be something Peter would know ahead of time, and if it's something that would be a surprise to Peter, I'll tell Jeff, 'Oh, don't tell me. I don't want to know.' And then it's exciting to read it and exciting to play it.
