I think it's better to have limits. My limits are different from other people's limits. I'm all for freedom, I'm all for people doing what they want.

I guess I'm just a mass of contradictions.

I kind of enjoy the limits. If you've got no limits, you can do absolutely anything, it's very difficult, actually. I always enjoyed working with machines like color photocopiers and letter-pressing type settings, things where the limits are very apparent.
