Oliver Herring

"Most people are much more unusual and complicated and eccentric and playful and creative than they have the time to express. Play. It's a thing that we put on hold because we get distracted by so many other things. We have to make money, we have to pay the bills, we grow up. And these roles that we play, they're not real. But after a while they become real for us. Play is sort of a reminder of what that was like to be a kid. And in the end, we never loose that. I think it's always there. I mean, you carry your past inside of you, that's clear, so why should it disappear?"
