I make films but I am trained as a designer. I come from this series of designers called critical designers, speculative designers.

Art establishes the basic human truths which must serve as the touchstone of our judgement.

If the prime directives were followed a little more accurately here on earth, I mean it sounds somewhat Pollyanna, but I think people would certainly get along better.

When you do a cheesy leopard print, it can turn out so wrong.
