Provide hope when no one is in search of it.

Crash into acceptance.

In the absence of hope, we hope we can find acceptance.

Talking with actual kids has changed the way that I approach storytelling.

Childhood is the worst.

Childhood is actually a pretty new concept. For the first thousand years of human history, children were not viewed as special, unique creatures.

I rarely refer to creativity, rather I refer to my work as what it is—art.

I'll rest easy knowing that the mark I leave on the world will be big enough so that those I love remember, but small enough to save room for everyone else.

The scope of my world is small, but it is authentic and meaningful.

I realized that maybe if I stopped forcing myself into this grown-up sonnet and just did what I loved, I'd be happier.

Why do we have to grow up?

Maybe I'm just a child at heart.

We're designers. We build our environments. Having a seat at the table at these types of meetings is an incredible treat.

Play is critical to a healthy childhood.

The most single word that defines childhood is play.

We need to provide contact with nature for children. It's of paramount importance for a healthy childhood.

The theme that I really want to touch on is the importance of adults making conscious decisions towards children's lives.

You end up with waaay too much Law and Order.

People confusing the ß for a B were no nonsense.

I have a friend who's a musician and he asked me to sit down and he interviewed me about art. And after an hour's worth of conversation he boiled it all down into this one phrase, which was 'It's what moves you.'

The idea of making something that moves minds is a profound miracle.

The constitution states that the purpose of copyright is to promote the progress of science and the musical arts.

Make your passions known because when you do that, then everybody becomes your advocate.

If you do the job you hope to have, then eventually people will come to expect that of you and it will be your job.

Do what you're really passionate about and what makes you happy.
