What's your best habit, and what's your worst?

My best is getting lots of sleep. My worst is caving in to my cravings: when I find something I like, I want to eat it every day until I'm sick of it. Right now I'm obsessed with gochujang sauce.

What do you do when you're creatively stuck?

I'll just take a nap.

Is there a businessperson you admire?

There's a photographer and stylist I admire named Wisdom Kaye.

Is there a buzzword you never want to hear again?
