For me, if I can design beautiful things that have the price be lower, I am thrilled.

I design my shots. I walk the rehearsal as the camera and say ‘this is where I want to be… I want this look.

Art has definitely influenced how I think of design, both as individual items and as a body of work.

I finished high school there and then I went to Rhode Island School of Design.

The new strategy is to teach intelligent design without calling it intelligent design.

A designer is only as good as the star who wears her clothes.

In any case, his judgment and set of values, acting alone or through his assistants, determine not only what is gold and what is dross but the design of the history which he creates out of the metal. The historian decides what is significant, and what is not.

The mind is like a richly woven tapestry in which the colors are distilled from the experiences of the senses, and the design drawn from the convolutions of the intellect.

If we don’t have accurate information, if we are not able to tell difficult truth one to another, we will never be able to effectively design a policy for Iraq.
