It’s never an interview, it’s a conversation, researched to a point, but I can still be surprised in the moment.
The greatest lesson I’ve learned from it is that context is irrelevant when you hurt somebody.
I’m very aware of the time I have on this planet…I lost loved ones at a young age. I realise the platform I have and the responsibility I have, and I’m aware of my mortality.
