The idea of retirement seems to imply that you stop doing what you always did. Why would you do that? I don't get that.

It could be that going to work is better than being home. But you should never think of days as the weekend. It should all be the same, it should all be stuff you want to do. And when it isn't then you have to change it, and you have to think about how you change it.

I think design, to a degree, is more generous and more humanistic than art, though great art can move us more.

If I get up every day with the optimism that I have the capacity for growth, then that’s success for me.

I get to work on things I've never done before and I get better at it, and I can do things that are innovative. Which I've done in my fifties, and want to continue to do through my sixties.

Great design is serious, not solemn

I think that the ability of people to accept new things is growing, and that's good for all of us.
