To me what really matters is that it shouldn't matter to you what day of the week it is.

I do different things. I'm a designer. I'm a painter.

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.

It's through mistakes that you actually can grow. You have to get bad in order to get good.

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.

New Zealand looks like the future to me

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