I push every day against forces that say you have to go faster, be more effective, be more productive, you have to constantly outdo yourself, you have to constantly outdo your neighbor - all of the stuff that creates an incredibly productive society, but also a very neurotic one.
I am like a freight train. Working on the details, twisting them and playing with them over the years, but always staying on the same track.
We live in a disposable society. It's easier to throw things out than to fix them. We even give it a name - we call it recycling.
