The music industry was more oddball guys who did it for fun and now they are huge corporations that have become more structured.

It was not always an easy path - I just had to tell myself that one day, being on the periphery would become an asset (and I think it finally has, as a creative adult).

  • The choice of roles as I grow older gets more and more limited, so if I pin myself to one kind of part I would get in trouble.
