Design is everything. Everything!

I design for real people. I think of our customers all the time. There is no virtue whatsoever in creating clothing or accessories that are not practical.

Many things difficult to design prove easy to performance.

A designer knows he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add but when there is nothing left to take away.

What we think of as our sensitivity is only the higher evolution of terror in a poor dumb beast. We suffer for nothing. Our own death wish is our only real tragedy.

I'm not on the run from anything and I'm not at all clear about what I'm running towards. But as some great writer put it I want to be certain that when I arrive at death I'm totally exhausted.

Here's a thing about the death of your mother or anyone else you love: You can't anticipate how you'll feel afterward. People will tell you a few may be close to right none exactly right.

I think about death a lot I really do because I can't believe I won't exist. It's the ego isn't it? I feel that I should retreat into a better form of Zen Buddhism than this kind of ego-dominated thing. But I don't know I mean I want to come back as a tree but I suspect that it's just not going to happen is it?

The situation in the United States is becoming more dire for average ordinary Americans and the last thing we need to do is to spend money on death destruction and war.

I rely on guns for protection in life. God does not say 'This is la-la land.' God doesn't say 'Welcome to Earth. Everything's perfect. There's no crime. There's no murder. There's no death.' The world is imperfect and you have to be on guard.

Nothing is a matter of life and death except life and death.

It's certain that the death of an actor can be on a television screen playing the same thing every week.

When I was younger I wasn't concentrating on good days. I was managing a career and trying to have a good year. It would always 'lead' to something which never leads to anything except death where everything leads to. And then as I got older and then I had my kids and everything I began to appreciate a great Wednesday.

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.

Nothing is absolute with the debatable exceptions of this statement and death.

The first novel I wrote was a monster - clocking in at 180 000 words - but it died a death a death it deserved. It was called 'The Gods First Make Mad.' It was a good title but it was the only good thing about the book. I didn't let that put me off.

There is no such thing as an ugly language. Today I hear every language as if it were the only one and when I hear of one that is dying it overwhelms me as though it were the death of the earth.

Over the past 50 years we got versions of X-ray specs and space vacations and even death rays. But the X-ray specs don't fit on your face - they're big things that screen your luggage for guns. Space vacations are real but they cost $20 million. We have death rays but you have to be a triple Ph.D. to play with them.

There's stuff I don't like to rehearse really emotional things I don't like to rehearse. You just beat it to death.

Libertarians know that a free country has nothing to fear from anyone coming in or going out - while a welfare state is scared to death of poor people coming in and rich people getting out.

It's something I want to overcome. And my kids are scared to death to fly. I want them to witness me overcome it.

Of course we avoid death. To know something is inevitable is one thing. To accept to truly feel it... that's different.

Everything that is necessary is also easy. You just have to accept it. And the most necessary the most natural matter on this planet is death.
