I'm really interested in the idea of anomynity and familiarity. And sunglasses, you know, are so indicatitve of that. I mean, they're worn by some people to hide themselves. But they're also a fashion statement, meant to be noticed. So there's a dichotomy there.

The different kinds of sequences of breath. I like doing that a lot.

I'm still committed to the socialist idea because the socialist idea, correctly understood, includes the principles of freedom and social justice.
