“The image, like the voice, came in stages. I never sat down with anyon...” — Roy Orbison Quote

“The image, like the voice, came in stages. I never sat down with anyone and said, 'Let's design an image.'”

“Looking back on it now, I felt that I was blessed much like the masters, I guess - the guys who wrote the concertos.”

“Barbara and I wanted to do a television special, and she put it together with T Bone Burnett, and they came up with the idea of it being black and white. It was fabulous; we had a great time. It was wonderful.”

“There's a fun, nostalgic aspect to Legos - people connect to the art on a different level. But it's also a medium that lets me design anything I can imagine. I especially enjoy creating curvy forms using rectangular pieces. Up close, you notice the sharp angles, but when you back away, the corners blend into curves.”

“As a director, I design every movie to be true to itself, and damn it if they like it, and damn it if they don't.”

“Because, ultimately, we can't just think of algorithms in isolation. We have to think of the failings of the people who design them - and the danger to those they are supposedly designed to serve.”
