I don't like to make my life like a book.

You know that's history, that's why some people say that my stuff is retro, but I don't agree.

I'm interested in youth culture and popular culture.

If somebody asked me about my inspiration I would say that it's not the peopleand it's not the things, it's travel and experiencing different environments.

I don't have any furniture of mine in my room.

In Japan, Australia, and England there is such a strong youth culture.

One of the great things about design is that it's truly international. No one in the design industry would say, "This country is mine," or "I will make it look this way because it's for an American market and that way for a Chinese market." If you look at all of the Apple products, they are the same everywhere . . . I mean, I can't deny that I love traveling. It's a very healthy thing to be able to appreciate other cultures - or at least witness them firsthand. And all of that goes into helping someone be a good designer, because it's an international business.
