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.

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

I know that in my own work I'm able to do all kinds of things I never thought I'd be able to do.

The best way to accomplish serious design ... is to be totally and completely unqualified for the job.

I like what I do. So why would I want to stop doing it?

What you do is look at yourself and find your own way to address the fact that the times have changed and that you have to pay attention. You can't be a designer and say, "Oh, this is timeless".

Really, everything is designed.
