I really try to keep my personal workspace as tidy as possible. I really believe there's a place for everything and everything in its place, as the cliché goes.

Even though the means of production are more available than ever, I think the true expertise is as rare as ever.

I think design does evolve in a meaningful sense. I think if you look at design as a part of the continuum of communication, since even before Guttenberg.

You have to have a balance and understand that as much as you would like to have absolute control over everything, it's just not realistic.

I think now we're seeing the pendulum switch back to this idea where conversations are more important, if not more important than documents.

Designers from start to finish now in digital media have to think in a much more sort of thoughtful serious and humble way about how design audiences will receive their products.

The way I look at my job, I spend a lot of time trying to create the conditions for good design to happen and I don't get an opportunity to do a lot of hands on work.

I think there's always something about design that is going to be very difficult for more than a small fraction of people to really get.

I have a few memories of being young here in the United States, but almost no recollections of being young in Vietnam.

Luckily I never feel at one time more than half my pains.

Be loyal to your boss, your company, your co-workers. Someone is always listening.

Love. Of course, love. Flames for a year, ashes for thirty.

I danced in a Lifetime film. We shot in Canada and I got to work with a lot of the dancers who do So You Think You Can Dance, Canada.

How we handle our fears will determine where we go with the rest of our lives.

As an artist you are free to use any image, any style, any idea from any culture and any period of history.

If someone told me I had to give back, or I'm supposed to give back, or I'm supposed to do these things, I would reject that. My actions are those of valuing and caring.

Look, I am not worried about Washington cutting too much spending too fast. I mean, the kinds of spending cuts we're talking about just right now are $100 billion out of a $3.7 trillion budget.

You can use data wrong. It's just like polling. There have been a lot of politicians who go conduct a poll to figure out what they believe.

I don't remember writing anything until I wrote my college application.
