It took me a few seconds to draw it, but it took me 34 years to learn how to draw it in a few seconds.

I find that I'm at my least creative point when I am doing something that I've done in repetition and I know all the rules - I never break the rules because I know them.

As a painter I make up projects for myself to express myself. And there's no client, there's no direction.

Art has no purpose. It exists for its own sake.

Stefan Sagmeister says that nobody innovates past forty-five, but I think he's wrong. I want to keep doing it.

For people who make inventions, whether they make scientific inventions or artistic inventions, they're driven by pretty much the same thing. It's some mistrust from somebody saying it couldn't be a certain way, and overthrowing that. But that can happen at any point in history, at any time you come along. It doesn't get better or worse because you're born in this era or that era - I think it's more individualistic. It comes from within, you know, it's an internal thing.

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