It is difficult when you didn't get that momentum, career momentum before you went away. I think that's the challenge. I think there has been this like, It's back to your mimetic, the wanting book. I got to read this. I think the mimetic desire thing works more powerfully in person. It just has more of a powerful draw in person, but also, God damn it, in-person stuff's just easier.

And then he'd show me his portfolio.

I don't know if there's one.
