A good scientist is a person with original ideas. A good engineer is a person who makes a design that works with as few original ideas as possible. There are no prima donnas in engineering.

Design is a funny word. Some people think design means how it looks. But of course if you dig deeper it's really how it works.

Design works if it's authentic inspired and has a clear point of view. It can't be a collection of input.

Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.

I've accentuated the look over the years. As a comic you try something and if it works you go with it and grind it to death.

Workshops and seminars are basically financial speed dating for clueless people.

My dad has no control over who works with me. Me me and me alone has to take responsibility for anything.

Work ethic has always been stressed in my family. My dad is going to be 80 years old and he still works part time. My mom just retired a couple years ago and she's in her mid- to late 70s.

If you had told me at 45 years old that I would have to go on tour to get rest I would've said 'That's not how it works.' But nothing can be more gratifying. I'm a very hands-on dad.
