When I design and wonder what the point is I think of someone having a bad time in their life. Maybe they are sad and they wake up and put on something I have made and it makes them feel just a bit better. So in that sense fashion is a little help in the life of a person. But only a little.

So I'm always around video games but I've always been interested in them from a visual perspective with the graphic design and that whole thing. I don't know if that comes from my love of photography or what but that's always what's held my interest about them.

I thank Marc Jacobs so much for giving me the opportunity to design a shoe for Louis Vuitton but the thing that broke my heart most was when they said 'You're finished. The shoe's finished.'

My style is kind of eclectic and I don't like to do the same thing over and over again. I like to have fun and explore myself so you won't see the same design.

While a case can be made for intelligent design I can't figure out why some Christians are so thrilled about that possibility. First of all it doesn't prove there's a God. If anything intelligent design lends support to some form of pantheism that defines God as immanent within nature.

Let's be realistic how many people are buying a $2 000 skirt? I love to design things that people can actually buy. I'm staggered by what a boot costs today.

All those years of skating and dancing have carried over. I can't design anything without thinking of how a woman's body will look and move when she's wearing it.

Ever since I was young I loved making things and being part of the design process.

I'm not really a fashion designer. I just love clothes. I've never been to design school. I can't sketch. I can't cut patterns and things. I can shorten things. I can make a dress out of a scarf.

Summer blockbusters are very expensive to make. They have things that have to be expensive such as 600 effects shots or CG characters that have to go a certain way or a film design that is different but expensive.

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.

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.

The only thing Martha and I have in common is that we both used to model. Martha Stewart is extremely talented. Her designs are picture perfect. Our philosophy is life is messy and rather than being afraid of those messes we design products that work the way we live.

I did not direct my life. I didn't design it. I never made decisions. Things always came up and made them for me. That's what life is.

Books are but waste paper unless we spend in action the wisdom we get from thought - asleep. When we are weary of the living we may repair to the dead who have nothing of peevishness pride or design in their conversation.

The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is at bottom no design no purpose no evil no good nothing but blind pitiless indifference.

The design of the Mac wasn't what it looked like although that was part of it. Primarily it was how it worked. To design something really well you have to get it. You have to really grok what it's all about. It takes a passionate commitment to really thoroughly understand something chew it up not just quickly swallow it.

In most people's vocabularies design means veneer. It's interior decorating. It's the fabric of the curtains and the sofa. But to me nothing could be further from the meaning of design.

A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.

Happiness is not something you postpone for the future it is something you design for the present.

I think it's really important to design things with a kind of personality.

I like the body. I like to design everything to do with the body.
