I never had a clear idea of where I wanted to go, but I think that's actually an advantage.

You don't necessarily set out to be a pioneer, you go out and you get lost.

Being a pioneer sounds like such a romantic term, it sounds like a great achievement, but I think it only exists in hindsight because when you start out pave a way, that's not what you intend to do. You're just running into the dark, solo, no flashlight, no plan.

What also helped me was isolation—the freedom to be odd, ridiculous, unwanted, and resilience.

Any of the tools that I have have been from my parents, and I use them all of the time: work ethics, attention to detail, respect, devotion, books—so many books—and music.

What has helped me get past fear and self-loathing has been to blinded by passion.

Comfort kills. Are you doing something on a daily basis that pushes you a little?

We get caught up a lot with trends and following trends, and its not necessarily like trends are bad, but when I think about what'll happen when I'm not here, and what I'll leave behind, its my images, its my work. If I follow trends I don't know what that says about me when I'm not here anymore.

Serendipity is about ease and energy, and it can't come when it's forced, planned, or structured with time.

I think diversity of mindset, diversity of types - personality types - is what also brings together these incredible teams. And if we're all alike and we're all thinking alike, we'll never get to the great work.

Walk into the fog of a really big problem, and just take one step. And then reevaluate. And then just take another step. And reevaluate. Instead of having to draw the map in advance.

Não pense só em coisas brilhantes, crie coisas brilhantes.

Death occurs in the midst of life.

We learn more from something that doesn't work then from if everything works.

When were you presented with a choice to enter in to the suffering of another and do something about it? What did you choose?

We realized that learning from other kids helps us relate to them.

We found that kids teaching other kids is just as valuable [as adults teaching kids].

People that would never otherwise engage in a conversation about design or creativity are doing that.

If you’re looking for who you are creatively, and what your style is, I guarantee you it’s already there. You look back at your culture. Look at your history.

Because you'll have an opportunity and the odds are in your favor. You'll either hear no, maybe, or yes. 2 out of 3 .... the odds are in your favor.
