[mellow rock music]

I find rock music works in the English.

But opera really,

it s Italian,

it s French,

it s German.

If you see a piece of music.

If you see it in colors

and fractals,

it s extraordinary

because you can really see where it s going

and you can see where the sound is.

You know how you can,

you ll suddenly,

something will suddenly make sense to you?

I m hoping that free jazz

or Björk

or some of them,

some of that will make sense.

Because I m a 60s person really.

I like The Beatles

and The Stones

and Jefferson Airplane

and David Bowie.

I am reading Philip K. Dick.

Exegesis.

It s actually kinda amazing.

The book about Fibonacci.

Which is great.

And also I m reading a book about translation

and I m reading a book about,

it s very boring,

it s about calculus.

I don t know much about fashion.

I mean,

I glide round the edges of the industry.

I m not really in the industry.

I know what I can put on

and what I can t.

I can t look at prints.

And sort of,

I like old sequins.

I veer towards something simple that I can,

so that even if the jacket is 20 years old

we can just put it with another shirt

and it s fine you know?

You know I just sort of narrowed it down to that.
