SIMON COSTIN // INTERVIEW // // Guest interview by 1 Management‘s Christopher Michael // - see more interviews on the One Management Blog - Q. I admire the fact that you refuse to own a blackberry and have managed to achieve your current success without succumbing to the demands of technology; I also share your habit of not watching much television but indulging in many movies. What is your favorite Film? As far as not succumbing to technology goes, the blackberry is the only thing I’m loath to acquire, I’m not a luddite, I just find the constant demand to be available to answer questions by tapping away at a tiny screen, demeaning when someone could just pick the phone up and talk to me. 1. 5. 6. 7. 8.

What was the first thing you thought about when you woke up this morning?
I'm heading down to East Sussex to some woods there for the Autumn Equinox and I was thinking about giving my sleeping bag an airing... What do you wear to work? It depends on what I'm doing. If I'm working from my studio at home it's usually jeans and a T-shirt, barefoot. Two weeks ago I was working up in Argyll and took wet weather gear that I bought from 60 Degrees North, a company in Iceland where I worked last year. Click here to see more. What do you have for breakfast? It's usually wholemeal toast with honey or museli and always a banana. Do you read a newspaper/watch television/click online? Yes. How do you get to work? Thankfully I can work from home and I love it. What time do you first check your inbox? I get up, shower, have breakfast in the studio and usually check it then.
Do you listen to music whilst you work? I usually have something on. Where would your ideal lunch be and who would it be with? Always.
