What did you have for breakfast? – Black coffee, eggs, fruit (and maybe the kid's leftover pancakes…)

What goes through your head before you dress in the morning? – During the summer in NYC — What can I combine with SHORTS? Otherwise, I usually don't have a plan. I tend to take the typical male approach—a couple of quality outfits that I always use. I can't have cheap wear anymore… too old for that. But my favorite mode is when you have some new stuff, but you are letting it mature in your wardrobe, holding on to it for a couple of weeks, waiting for the perfect premiere day.

How come you do what you do? – This is what I always been doing. There is nothing else, have never been.

What do you love about New York City? – Here, everything is at the highest volume. What is totally normal here would be considered extreme behavior back home. It's business as usual to ride a mini-Honda and sing opera simultaneously. Or bring your speaker to the park and blast Steely Dan without your shirt on.

What are you most proud of? – It's a cliché, but I'm proud to have managed to raise my kids to become two extraordinary humans.

Do you dream? – At night? Yeah, I always had vivid dreams, and hopefully turn some of it into art. That's the best art. But if I dream about the future? I've never been a dreamer in that sense. I tend to live pretty much in the present. That's both good and bad, I guess...
