Quotes

I love the adventure that comes with this work, the travel and all that.

But also the craft, the storytelling. From a kid, I remember enjoying,certain books and getting swept away in movies.

For me, life is about experience and being a good person.

I grew up in a culture of motorbikes. So I like racing just fine. Quite a lot, actually. That was when I was a boy in Australia. And I never really made the jump to cars after that.
