I know that's not something that people like to do - identify a favorite. But I do.

Architectural and product designs have a narrative capacity - you can start to tell a story about them and imagine a lot of things.

I don't care what people call me, labels have the negative value of making smaller boundaries for people.

It was always my goal to 'up the ante' on good design and rye devoted much of my career to this

I once got a postcard from a French poet who wrote - "you don't know me but I'm always very grumpy when I get up in morning. But when I get up now I put the tea kettle on, and when it starts to sing it makes me smile - goddamn you!" That's what happened when we first designed it - we got a lot of mail.

Architects love to rethink a project - that's what we do. If something is successful, like a house or a kettle, in this case, it's a great compliment when someone wants another one.

If I have a style, I am not aware of it.
