…l, so I also tried to live my life in the meantime: going to shows, taking interviews, etc. I was exhausted, and the Universe decided to tell me to slow down: one morning, trying to avoid a car parked on the bike path, I fell off the bike and hit my head pretty hard; also hit a knee and broke my glasses. So, I was forced to stop from my crazy race at least for a few days — a few precious days when I was supposed to pack my stuff. Luckily, I recove…

Most of the time, I would only get thirty minutes to an hour with a person. Of course, I had to come up with questions that would break down their walls within that span of time. After all these projects, I’d built up this internal database of questions that cut through the façade. Why did you choose Amsterdam and how do yo…

At our office, we are encouraged to place tables and chairs outside on sunny days, in front of the building, and work from there. I do realise though that not everybody can enjoy this kind of green pleasures. How did you come up with the idea for Nature Desks? Is the idea becoming reality? Together with my colleague…

If you are looking for a room, you can expect to have this interview with the existing roommates. Be patient and don’t give up finding the perfect house. I think that especially when you are moving to a new country, you should live in a house you like, an area where you feel good. This will help you feel at ho…

I hardly take or edit out anything, only if it’s sensitive stuff that could harm others. So I follow my mission and intention which I think is authentic, because it’s not about me and what I believe. It’s about collectivity and not individuality, which I think is what the world needs most. Can you think of ways in w…

We have to shine and be self-confident, we have to stand out somehow, or we risk not being seen, being misunderstood, underestimated, under-evaluated, left aside. At least, that’s what I thought personal branding is all about. Truth is, as I found out, personal branding is not only about…

Do you think they would understand you better through your films, or your paintings? DS: Sometimes, it’s enough just sitting in the tram in front of someone, looking into each other’s eyes, to realise that you understand each other, this person understands or could understand you… But when I share my life…
