athletes need their downtime. Rest is a part of the recovery process. And so if you're serious about doing anything for a long period of time, you should consider how that break from the main thing keeps you... allows you to return to the game with a healthy perspective.

You should read his book. It's fantastic. And he would work really, really hard for, I think, months on end. And then he would switch off completely and go into... I don't know where he would go.

And the telegrams from his subconscious would inspire him and give him a new perspective and that kind of thing. Another person I'm thinking of now is Paula Sher, who is the designer of the Citibank logo. She runs this great design consultancy.

And one of his quotes that I keep coming back to is like,
