I have always had an interest in fashion and design and I appreciate style and timelessness within my footwear and accessories both on and off the court.

Over the past 20 years I have noticed that the most flexible dynamic inquisitive minds among my students have been industrial design majors. Industrial designers are bracingly free of ideology and cant. The industrial designer is trained to be a clear-eyed observer of the commercial world - which like it or not is modern reality.

We thought it would be fun to try to design a show that would work well internationally and so that' s what we're intending to do with Fraggle Rock and we are indeed now selling it around the world.

I was very interested in theatre mostly in stage design. I did a little bit of acting.

It's all in how you arrange the thing... the careful balance of the design is the motion.

At some point in your life if you're lucky you get to design the way in which things evolve.

The actual tragedies of life bear no relation to one's preconceived ideas. In the event one is always bewildered by their simplicity their grandeur of design and by that element of the bizarre which seems inherent in them.

Gaming in general is a male thing. It isn't that gaming is designed to exclude women. Everybody who's tried to design a game to interest a large female audience has failed. And I think that has to do with the different thinking processes of men and women.

When I design a wedding dress with a bustle it has to be one the bride can dance in. I love the idea that something is practical and still looks great.

I'm a total control freak and love to participate in the design of every single aspect of life.
