Q: Who or What inspires you?

A: People who step out of their comfort zone inspire me. Those who take the high road, the hard road, the path of most resistance. People that dare to embrace the changing state of life and make something livable. Those that dare to change their perspectives and open their minds regularly.

Q: Why?

A: Because I believe that life is a big experiment. We are all just throwing spaghetti at the fridge wall to see if it sticks. It is so easy to make “safety” the goal, through money, relationships etc. But that’s just an illusion. Change is the most constant thing and I find those who are honest about this and embracing it the most interesting and inspirational.

Q: What does creativity mean to you?

A: In my experience, creativity is a state of simultaneous focus and abandon. It’s the place that many visit but can only become truly liberating when self judgment is put aside and everything is allowed and possible.

Q: What is your favorite place in the world?

A: Right now, it’s where I live: Berlin.

Q: What do you love most in the world?

A: People.

Q: What are the causes you care about? How do you actively support these causes with your time, money or other method/resource?

A: This one is tough right now. I'm currently finding that when you don’t take care of yourself, you don’t have much to give back, so right now I'm working on that. My current cause is relationship, with myself and my world.

Q: What question do you want to ask me?
A: I'm not sure why you picked me for this interview. Flattered but confused….why? ☺

@NMK: I interview everyone I think is interesting.

Q: What question do you wish I asked you and what is your answer to it?

A:I wish you had asked me about my favorite food. I wanted to wax poetic a while about cheese. Oh well, maybe next time…
