To me, nothing is more vibrant than having the power to do something but not having the experience of knowing what's right and what's wrong.

I am interested in imperfections, quirkiness, insanity, unpredictability. That's what we really pay attention to anyway. We don't talk about planes flying; we talk about them crashing.

When you make something no one hates, no one loves it.

I'm always trying to turn things upside down and see if they look any better.

You'll never go wrong when you work with someone smarter than you.

The difference between good design and great design is INTELLIGENCE

Design is just language and the real issue is what you use that language to do.

No matter what your cultural sophistication or what language you speak, everyone can understand images.

The perfect state of creative bliss is having power (you are 50) and knowing nothing (you are 9). This assures an interesting and successful outcome.

If you don't have an idea, all you have is style.

I'm not as good a writer as I'd like to be; therefore, I like to use images to tell stories.

A wise person is the one who knows what he knows and what he does not know.

He rubbed his hands up and down, warming her. “Then that’s all you need to know. I have you. If there are beasties in the dark, they have to get through me.

We are truly defined by what we pass on to the next generation.

We are at that age that balances between independence and conferring with your friends about every miniscule decision you make. I've never liked that part of adolescence.

If you put enough smart people together in one space, good things happen.

People have the illusion that all over the world, all the time, all kinds of fantastic things are happening. When in fact, over most of the world, most of the time, nothing is happening.

Logic is a poor model of cause and effect.

A multivalent culture is an amazing place to be writing theatre.

He who boasts of his pedigree praises that which does not belong to him.

You know I've never agreed with baths. Sittin' around in your own dirt like that.
