I won't allow myself to have tremendous fear.
It's fun seeing my label on someone's behind - I like that.
Commercials capture your attention, that's all.
When I started the business, I hardly went home. I became very driven about work and about my career.
Most of the things at the zoo don't look like us. We're one design that works. Our chimp pals sort of look like us, so that's a different take on the same basic design. But fish don't look like us, and giraffes don't. They look a little like us, but not too much. And insects certainly don't look like us, and they work just fine.
