Black leather and working late
Freunde von Freunden: How great is it, when a hot chick wear­ing black leather on a black leather sofa can make hap­pi­ness sound cool? I assumed you’d ref­er­ence a book, death metal or a favorite type of tea.
Maxime Balles­teros: Well, we also bring the con­stant ener­gy for work.
Jen Gilpin: More than a ref­er­ence to Dos­to­evsky, we bring inspi­ra­tion for each oth­ers’ work and debate about it. We bring an appre­ci­a­tion for that.
Maxime Balles­teros: We also share a sched­ule for life. We work late and that’s com­fort­able for us. Being with some­one who has a nor­mal job, is too hard.
