“If I had been to alter something, I might change every little thing, and simply make my life completely satisfied and foolish and like, no matter, after which I would not be an artist anymore. And that might suck.”

Trying to the long run, work-wise, Harbour mentioned he hopes to proceed telling ‘complicated and wealthy’ tales on display.
