I want to do work that has a message and casts a light over an area that's dark. But I'm fun and jovial, too.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
With whatever talent and resources I have, I'm trying to bring light to penetrate the darkness many people feel.
Despite what people might think, I'm not interested in being dark all the time. I'm actually searching for some kind of light, and I'm always very happy when I can achieve that.
I don't personally see my work as being dark. What interests me is a balance between light and dark.
I worked harder at my craft, and it took some time, but here I am today doing what I want to do, which is entertain people.
I don't feel drawn to lightness, I need something more. I feel that - oh, I hate saying this, it sounds so wanky - but I feel a real urge to give voices to people we don't usually hear from in real life.
I need quiet and solitude to work. Darkness is best. If I am wide awake, I can't write.
All I've ever wanted to do is darken the day and brighten the night.
My job is to go out and entertain the most people possible.
Not all of our work is dark, but when we are working on a dark project, we really tend to go there.
I don't have lights, I don't have assistants, I just go and meet somebody and take a photograph. That's really basic, and that's how I used to work when I was 17 or 18 in Holland.
