For that matter this person has done very well as someone else is taking care of this for him while he can play around with new ideas. Then again.. do you need to get rich? Do you want more money than you need? I often think/dream about having a sandwich shop or something.. in la bella Italia ofcourse :P I would open up at around 8, serving espresso.. Close at around 4 or 5 to enjoy my social life.. Damn... what the f*ck am I doing here? The shitty thing about getting an idea of your arse is that you have to manage it..

I almost have the best ideas at night or when i am a sleep or in a dreamy state. I truely believe that i designed my greatest costumes in my sleep, with details and all. The funny thing is that i almost always dreamed that i was in full admaration off an unknown designer, and it was actually me that did the designing. The next day however it seems a lot less genius. Your also right about who is getting the credit and who is deserving it. An actor friend once told me that no one is celibrating or benefiting my modesty. No one will say on Pippi's funeral here lyes the most modest person, and even if some one would i prefer to be rememered by being lots of fun then being modest, bluuuuh. But if you are not the one that is stepping up for yourself no one will. Or for sure sombody else with an bigger ego will take your place. I most say that working with actors who are fameous for there ego, that it's sometimes a relieve to talk with someone that is not full of themselve. In your working live you have to learn to time when you have to step up and make sure that you get regocnition, i learned it the hard way. One off my former employer even told me ones who the hell are you, you are not van Gogh, i told her listen if you don't give me the chance i never will be. By the way how is the bird family doing, i so much enjoy the spring in Amsterdam it' s great, you should take some time off to enjouy it to. Oke Padwanna take care see you. Kus en groet Pippi so funny and so true!
