Just to give the audience a breath of fresh air is important.

I'm 36, and sometimes I'm working so hard I don't realize how much I've gotten done.

If you can give your walls history, it supports the action that's happening in front of them.

I'm being totally honest, but I really do get chills every time I see something that I designed, painted on the biggest stage in Universal, standing proud there among all the other stages. I think, "That is so amazing that I did this".

These big Silicon Valley companies that are popping up are projecting growth skyrocketing in a few years. So they need a space they can grow into. Not so much in New York. Super conservative, super small.

If you look around anywhere, layers are an important part of, not just the story and the concept, but the world you're in. If you just turn around and look at your office door, there's a door, and there's something behind it.

Producers are looking to me to concept full worlds for subjects to compete, play a game show in, win an award, blah blah blah.
