Today isn't just another day. Today I'll create something beautiful.

The only way to find your voice is to use it. It’s hardwired, built into you. Talk about the things you love. Your voice will follow.

It’s one of my theories that when people give you advice, they’re really just talking to themselves in the past.

Usually, when we talk about creativity, it's about self-expression, which is great, but for work to be art or design, there has to be someone on the other end. The audience makes the work come alive.

Don't wait until you know who you are to get started.

Be curious about the world in which you live. Look things up. Chase down every reference. Go deeper than anybody else--that's how you'll get ahead.

You can’t be content with mastery; you have to push yourself to become a student again.

You’re only going to be as good as the stuff you surround yourself with.

The thing is: It takes a lot of energy to be creative. You don't have that energy if you waste it on other stuff.

Don't worry about doing research. Just search.

You can't find your voice if you don't use it.

Dont wait for anything that will not wait for you.

We imagine all these postapocalyptic, class-stratified, new-world-order techno-futures. But actually the real world, the world we live in, this is the dystopia.

Don’t just be everywhere, be everywhere that your clients are, where you matter most.

Money won't buy happiness but it will pay the salaries of a large research staff to study the problem.

Fashion is architecture: it is a matter of proportions.

When a man becomes a writer, I think he takes on a sacred obligation to produce beauty and enlightenment and comfort at top speed.

Love is who we are, and when we deviate from that love we're deviating from our ultimate, essential, eternal reality.

To be what no one ever was, to be what everyone has been: Freedom is the mean of those extremes that fence all effort in.

I think of what the experience is of going into the building, of spending time in it, and try to get a sense of what the building would be like to work in as well.

The best preparation for a better life next year is a full, complete, harmonious, joyous life this year.
