Your Playground

CG. How do you manage to find humor in everyday life?

MP. I’m a rather serious person, the one mostly laughing at jokes than cracking them. But now that I think of it, I loved reading joke books as a kid. I’d always read the comics in the papers, and never bother with the rest. I guess, a lighthearted approach to life was always something I gravitated towards since I was a child, and that somehow shows up in my work without me realising it. I guess, life is so full of difficult things that, when something makes me giggle, I secretly want to trap that moment and keep it safe for later.
