A debut show at the ripe old age of 38 years old, having not decided to put on any exhibitions in white box galleries in West London or East London or wherever.

But it wasn't something I was looking for.

It just happened this way.

I mentioned Talented earlier.

It's a result of a lot of hard work.

It's not born from nothing.

It comes from working extremely hard

and presenting the work after many years of developing it.

That's what I call talent.

It's hard work.

It's so interesting.

I consume so many interviews with creatives and filmmakers and artists, and I consume a lot of documentation from what my other love, which is cinema.

And I...

watched a clip of Bong Joon-ho accepting his Best Picture Oscar for Parasite.

I'd known Bong Joon-ho's films prior to him winning this award for Parasite, but he used his acceptance speech to say, the most personal is the most creative.

And then he pointed, and he was like, that advice came from Martin Scorsese, and he pointed to Martin Scorsese in the audience, and the whole...

Academy Award audience stood up because they understood that Martin Scorsese, who won almost honorary Oscar for The Departed, they understood that Martin Scorsese's influence on the world of cinema had been so big.

And it was amazing to see this acknowledgement of an entire industry to Scorsese.

But that then passed on to a very different type of filmmaker, Bong Joon-ho, for Parasite.

And Martin Scorsese makes very personal films about violence and religion.
