careers discovery plot
Life and career are the same thing. Every life has to have a plot and a plan. You have to recognize this early and be quite cold-blooded in the discovery and articulation of that plot.
dream sleep night
London is a city that sleeps too much. This is the mould of its quality. A magnetic contract: to reinvent itself on the other side of dream, each day.

An involuntary return to the point of departure is, without doubt, the most disturbing of all journeys.
The only times I'm not relaxed are when I haven't got a project on the go.
