I'm 36, and sometimes I'm working so hard I don't realize how much I've gotten done.

Budget affects everything.

I was a child of a single mother/art teacher, and a father who was an architect, so I've always been around the combination of art, fine art, and architecture my entire life.

You take for granted the details that make something look real. It can still look fabulous, but if you add a light switch, a vent, or the notion of air conditioning, it can look real.

I treat every show, every production, like its own individual human organism that's grown up in a certain way, and they all have crazy habits and do different things.

Just to give the audience a breath of fresh air is important.

To me, Los Angeles and California and executive power are about big, open warehouse buildings. Tech companies are buying oversized buildings, because they project growth immediately.

In New York, it's a little bit more formal, a little bit more decorated, and there's a real appreciation for traditional style. Out here, it's casual, fresh, new, and almost humble.

If you can give your walls history, it supports the action that's happening in front of them.

If the person or artist doesn't touch it, and if the camera stays relatively far away from it, it doesn't really have to be real.

I think unscripted variety television may or may not get a bad rap now, but it is a fabulous environment. It is exactly who I am, and there's so much creativity there to express.

It is a sad state of affairs in the USA that for the sick and the poor that jail offers better benefits than the freedom of no healthcare, bills that cannot be paid and starvation.

I try to walk around without being noticed but I can’t help attracting attention with my pink Mohawk, black clothing and steel toes, and often I’m with Holly and we’re both tall and arrogant.

My real name is Nils and Booboo is a childhood nickname. It's not two words or two capital B's, it's B-o-o-b-o-o.

You can still do all the same things. How you do them is what will shift.

In my life as an architect, I found that the single thing which inhibits young professionals, new students most severely, is their acceptance of standards that are too low.

Winfield goes back to the wall. He hits his head on the wall and it rolls off! It's rolling all the way back to second base! This is a terrible thing for the Padres!

The point of poetry is to be acutely discomforting, to prod and provoke, to poke us in the eye, to punch us in the nose, to knock us off our feet, to take our breath away.

If all the economists in the world were laid end to end, it wouldn't be a bad thing.

Death is not extinction. Neither the soul nor the body is extinguished or put out of existence.

These days, if you happen to be a poet you have to sing your words to get your ideas out.
