“I want to design jewelry for girls and guys... I'ma spread it out, but...” — Tyler Quote

I want to design jewelry for girls and guys... I'ma spread it out, but I'ma design, probably when I'm just designing furniture and buildings, I'll probably being the jewelry thing, too.

My lyrics aren't offensive. Some people find everything offensive.

I'm not hip-hop. I'm Tyler.

I wasn't shy, but I was really hyper. Nobody got my sense of humor. I was a black skater kid.

I'm like a big 10-year-old when I'm on stage. I just go up there and do whatever I think is cool at the moment.

I believe that the concept of 'design' encompasses every aspect of customers's exposure to a brand, from the moment they hear about us to the first time they visit our store to the process of ordering and anticipating the arrival of their glasses.

With 'Being the Elite' you'll see some of the most innovative stuff, but it's going to be very different then the weekly TV show. But that's by design and I want to keep it that way so you'll have outlets to see different things.

Most of my ideas come from drawing patterns across conversations I have with different types of people - technology investors, young fashion design students, a CEO. This variety is stimulating and offers many different perspectives on the things I am thinking about.

It's really important for me that we work with the best factories and factories that are really thoughtful in their design and make sure that we can also produce the best product and do best by those who are helping produce our product around the world.
