• I know when something is done and when it isn't. There's been times working on movies when they [moviemakers] lock in a release date and so you're stuck to that schedule.

Yet, upon closer examination he might see that without one, the other becomes useless. The wise man then sees that both lock and key were created for the same purpose.

• When I was eleven I stopped dreaming the dreams that didn't come true, I stopped talking to people who didn't listen, I lost hope and I retreated. I assumed that the root of the problem was that I was too strange for the real world. That being the case, I created a charming and dynamic personality to make the necessary forays into the Outside, and I kept my strangeness for myself; my own peculiar jewels under lock and key.

• Creo que el tiempo es una restricción para destruir y luego reinventar. Si me dan una restricción, la acepto. Pero siempre intento cambiarla de sitio o readaptarla. ¡Eco! Si me encierran en una habitación, saldré por la ventana. Siempre me acuerdo de Achille Castiglioni, uno de mis mentores, y siempre decía que en el diseño industrial tienes la idea, la fantasía, los conceptos, ¡eso es la mermelada! - pero la restricción del briefing es el pan. Necesitas ambas cosas para estructurar tus ideas.
