designer mets
I have never met a designer who was retained to keep things the same as they were
business simple hands
The simple joy of taking an idea into one's own hands and giving it proper form, that's exciting.
thinking creative way
You don't think your way to creative work. You work your way to creative thinking.
design cooking architecture
Good design, like good painting, cooking, architecture or whatever you like, is a manifestation of the capacity of the human spirit to transcend its limitations.
attitude integrity design
No design can exist in isolation. It is always related, sometimes in very complex ways, to an entire constellation of influencing situations and attitudes. What we call a good design is one which achieves integrity – that is, unity or wholeness – in balanced relation to its environment.
design social social-change
Design is a response to social change.
creative brain together
I find that the creative side of my brain and the archival side of my brain don't work well together. When I've done my best work, I've been in a trance-like state.
people oblivious
The most oblivious people are often the happiest.

I'm a pessimist, but I have many painstakingly applied coats of optimism.

religious wonderful-friends people

giving three sometimes
Instead of three networks you have three hundred or three thousand. Audiences are inundated with programming, and that sometimes gives them a sense of petulant entitlement.
kings war character
I don't like that The Simpsons are spokespeople for Burger King and MasterCard and Butterfinger. In the first Gulf War, I was really upset that the Simpsons characters were being drawn on tanks and bombs. But those are things that I don't control.
strong pharaohs
I have nothing but respect for the purist who won't work for the pharaoh. But I'm not that strong.
