I always drew. I was, you know, the school artist. I was the person who made the posters for the prom. That's who I was.

I don't want being a woman to be a factor, or being short to bea factor, or being Jewish to be a factor, or anything that makes you outside some design "norm"that I don't understand anyway. That makes me nervous.

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.

Design is the art of planning, and it is the art of making things possible.

You can build an ordinary hot dog stand or you can build a spectacular one, and you can do it sometimes without that much difference in money - if somebody thinks about it.

Design exists to serve some purpose.

I think that it's a great time to be a designer.
