Any tendency to design for design's sake, to create a pattern within which the owner must live according to rules set by the designer, is headed for frustration, if not disaster.

I've never been married, and I've never been divorced. But I have had some very serious relationships. I was engaged twice. The way that those relationships ended, it was very very heartbreaking.

And there have certainly been movies I wanted to be in and milestones I wanted to surpass that did not happen.

Sight is about what lies right in front of us. Vision is what lies ahead.
