What a designer does is he makes things possible that you didn't imagine could exist before, and it makes the world a better place. You know, it's a great thing to be doing. A fine artist does that, too, but they make the expression for themselves, not for others' use.

I'm hoping that I continue to be innovative on things that are tremendously visible and are still important projects.

My fear is that when you become an expert in anything then the expectation somehow makes you ordinary, in a way, because you become the firm that does that, or you become the person that does that. You really need to change the form to make the discovery.

Be culturally literate, because if you don't have any understanding of the world you live in and the culture you live in, you're not going to express anything to anybody else.

When I paint I do a different thing than when I design. But both involve aesthetics, both involve thought, both involve planning.

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

We don't do everything the same way we always did it. We just don't.
