Q: What sort of things make you laugh day-to-day?
The oddest things. At the moment, I’m working in Ireland as Creative Director of Galway 2020 European Capital of Culture. There’s a knitted sculpture in Shannon Airport that always makes me laugh.
Q: Why do you think fun/joy is so important today?
I think people are often scared in the jobs they do; they don’t want to be held accountable. That’s why so many people start off by saying ‘no’ to the kinds of projects we propose. My job, or one of my jobs, is to inject some joy, to share the vision, and enable people to say ‘yes’.
