Can you outline a typical day in the studio?

RD
Because I travel quite a lot, it’s hard to have a typical day. I try to get here for 6 o-‘clock. Then I can have 2 or 3 hours working here at the computer or at the table over there. I wouldn’t really start physically making stuff until later in the day. In a way I wish I had an office that was separate from the studio because there is a compulsion to come here and deal with all of the emails and to get that out the way before you can start working. When you’re travelling a lot, that backlog of activities tends to build up a lot.
