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.

Little did we know it would be watched by millions of people and break viewing records.

Whether it was working on theatre sets or stage lighting, I didn't realize most all of the skills I was exposed to were going to come in handy later on when I became a designer.

I'm having the time of my life and I'm glad people are enjoy it.

I've enjoyed being a part of something from the beginning, when we were still finding our footing.

Throughout the country, I see the same design problems and solutions over and over.

I'm very flattered, but I don't think I'm the sexiest man on the planet.

I was supposed to be the antithesis of Frank.

They don't know they're living in a glass house.

Yeah, I spent about 20 years in a dorm room. It took me a while to graduate.

A challenge always is good. Normal design does not come under the constraints of a small budget and time frame. But it has helped me to make quick and knowledgeable decisions.

Designing is a lot like a high-wire act - if the tightrope walker is only six inches off the ground, where's the excitement?

DJs and people in the street know what they like.

People who keep stiff upper lips find that it's damn hard to smile.

Some people are directors and I think they should stay behind the camera.
