I've always found diversity more interesting than specialisation. I like mixing it up across years, within days, within weeks - that's what stimulates me, gives me energy.

Each of my career decisions has been very much about doing what I wanted to achieve in the role and then finding another challenge.

I switch on and off very easily; I'm inherently lucky in that sense. I sleep well.

Color is a very critical thing. I've found that architects don't like colors. Engineers too. And so somebody has to stand in. Because this is the finish of it. It is the emotional part of a structure.

My first career ambitions involved turning into a boy; I intended to be either a railway guard or a knight errant.
