Quote

An outgrowth of having a long career is that I have a lot of interesting things around that I get to revisit, and someday get to the place where they become something that I want to do next.

I wasn't tempted to go into academia for a second.

I could have seen myself going into academia, but I don't love it; I just like it.

Ultimately, I want to have a good career and do interesting work.

I've always been more inclined to go out to work than carry on with academic studies.

I certainly never intended for myself an academic career and, were the academy to suffer, I'd just go do something else. I don't have a commitment to it or to really, frankly, almost any institution that assumes that it has to be stable forever.

I'm an academic. I teach at the university, and that's where I will go back to.

Eventually, I want to finish my degree.

I'd love to go off to college to study photography, art history, humanities.

In my career, I thought I've never wanted to get anywhere in particular. I just wanted to work with interesting people on interesting projects.
