Being in the design industry, I've tended to meet more people who are affected by HIV and AIDS.

I enjoy talking to fans.

I gave the couple a hint of a design that would work great with the bones of their home. They weren't ready for it, and they embarrassed themselves and that's too bad.

I am the young, edgy New Yorker.

I know people don't think I work.

In two days, it's hard to to get the quality you would normally want for a design project.
