But nothing is better than the market, where the customer and the business deal directly with each other, because if you rip people off, word gets out.

When you sign that contract, you're tied to that opera house to try your best. But every different team will play with a different intensity. ↗

I don't set goals. Like, that's what I want to be doing however many years from now. I do what I love to do at the moment. If I wake up tomorrow and decide I want to dance, that's what I'd do. Or design clothes. ↗
