I think, oddly, that the world of the amateur is quite self-contained, and it depends on "likes" from other amateurs to perpetuate itself. Of course an awful lot of my colleagues are involved with Instagram - they get likes and dislikes, maybe just likes, I don't know - but I think that it's far less self-contained, the world I work in.

My dad is the way he is. He likes to talk. It's really a perfect team, because I'm not really a trash-talk kind of person. I can if I want, but I feel like I don't have to because I know I can fight.
It's nice to work with the same people. You don't have to be polite. You know each other's likes and dislikes, and you don't have to micromanage and look at what they're doing every moment.
