What I hate is when something I've done is replaced by something better than what I've done. It's really embarrassing.

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

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.

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

Identity means "how do I get known? How do I expressmyself?" and that's generally what I'm helping somebody do. It may be three dimensional, it may be a public space, it may involve government,it may involve cultural institutions, it may involve corporations, it may involve editorial publications - it can be anything, really.

When I don't know all the rules I'm just wild.

Design always has a purpose.
