My collaborations have to be very positive. I will never work with a person I fight with.

I love thoroughness. I respect people that do a job well.

I'm a collector. I was born a collector. I came out of the womb a collector. I can trace it back to childhood - collecting used keys.

As I'm getting older, I'm moving away from calculations and measurement. I'm trying to be more open to vulnerability and mistakes.

Instead of imposing something, let it make itself.

Doing a job well is the thing. It's its own thing.

Sometimes being an artist is a real drag. It can be incredibly bureaucratic.

I carry a knife with me so I can cut images out of cardboard boxes. I'm always cutting cardboard. Especially every Thursday, which is recycling day.

I like the authentic object, and I have no problem paying sixty dollars for a T-shirt if it fits me really well and it's really well made. I like unassuming clothes.

I like well-made clothes, and I don't mind spending a lot of money on something that looks super, super simple. I don't like knockoffs.

I don't cook for myself. I eat every meal out. I'm fed by others. I think it's a kind of social thing. I work collaboratively with others. A meal with a friend is my ultimate thing.

Eat bread at pleasure drink wine by measure.

That was never a penalty in a million planets.

I like seeing women defined by what they do and what they're passionate about rather than the men that they're in love with or associated with. That's always more important to me, as a female.

Nothing I read about grief seemed to exactly express the craziness of it; which was the interesting aspect of it to me - how really tenuous our sanity is.

In pursuing a ‘way,’ Japanese typically move beyond an interest in craftsmanship to a kind of sacred search for the ultimate.

Always put yourself in others' shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the other person, too.

If you could stand back far enough and watch the whole process you'd see you are a totally determined being.

Whether you are launching a start-up or leading an established company, you should start establishing your social media presence if you haven’t already.

Oh, whoever has been himself alone can never find another’s loneliness strange.

All that mankind has done, thought or been: it is lying as in magic preservation in the pages of books.
