I don't like creating software anymore. It's too exact. It's like karate; there's no room for error.

Research universities need excellent means to communicate and express their results to regular people.

Things that I can do myself, I either do by myself, or teach a willing undergraduate who doesn't know how to do those things by doing it for me. Things that I can't do myself, my graduate students should be doing.

Design is a solution to a problem. Art is a question to a problem.

I like stuff designed by dead people. The old designers. They always got it right because they didn't have to grow up with computers. All of the people that made the spoon and the dishes and the vacuum cleaner didn't have microprocessors and stuff. You could do a good design back then.

I don't really love computers.

Art is a conduit toward human needs and perception.
