Interested Quote by Mike Faist
“With any sort of project, there's two avenues you could go down: 'How will this look on the outside and how will people will perceive me?' or 'I want to do this because I get to explore this thing for myself.' That's what I became more interested in. I don't actually care how it comes across to other people, I know for myself what I'm doing it for.”
