“If I could switch lives with someone for a day, I would choose my son Charles. I think it would be amazing to return to that state of innocence and naivety. To experience the world through the eyes of a 2 year old and feel that sense of childlike wonder and love for life.”

“I like short hair—it makes me feel free. I kept my hair long for a long time in my twenties because most guys prefer girls with long hair. Subsequently, I decided to just own it and cut my hair short.”

“During my university application, 'Architecture' was the first alphabetical option… so here I am.”
