I would think twice about designing stuff for which there was no need and which didn't endure.

There's this very vulnerable planet of ours with finite resources. Architects and designers have, I think, a fair responsibility for conserving energy and materials, and making things durable.

Magazines and advertising are flogging the idea that you have to keep changing things and get something new. I think that's balls - evil. But obviously that's your livelihood.

I would think twice about designing stuff for which there was no need and which didn't endure.

I think and hope there are far more people aware of the need to look after our future.

No one ever contributed anything to my designs.

I'm not against vodka - they just asked us. They put out some story about us entertaining international celebrities with vodka, which of course wasn't true.

Well the most successful of course was this Polypropylene chair.

I think it's really important to use your hands and get close to materials. To be up close to real things like rain and mud; to have contact with nature.

I can't climb very seriously now but I was a bit of a freak.

I've always walked and climbed; spent a lot of time in the arctic and places.

I think there's a tendency for modern man to become dominated by gadgets and machines, taking us further and further away from the things I've been talking about.

But I think it's important that things endure.

I'm pretty much a vegetarian.

Commerce is against morality. Morality is going to lose every time.

Well, I'd probably go for any work I could get.

I think the first things that are relevant are that things should work well; they should function.

We used to get published a lot. And there was this vodka advertisement... it embarrassed me a lot afterwards.

You've got to build a career and a practice.

Nothing is more admirable than the fortitude with which millionaires tolerate the disadvantages of their wealth.

Our life may look glamorous, but we scream at the kids, and I have to tell Jamie to tidy up if we have guests coming over.

My mother doesn't really embarrass me. Even when I was young. She understands my career.

The fact that 'A Dirty Job' has comedy and supernatural horror in it, that both are woven in and out of it with a whimsical tone, despite the fact that it's about death, makes it hard to characterize with standard genre labels - but I have no problem with that. I'd call it a funny story about death, and leave it at that.

It's not ideological to ask someone to stick to the question presented.

I'd like someone tall, dark and nice. Independent and confident. Not a macho man. Perhaps a little bit girly, in a way. The key for me is if we can cry with laughter.

We don't really have favorite positions. Its mostly just playing the game that we love.

I loved downers, almost any kind. Loved the colors of them. Loved them yellow... I did. I would just have a bouquet in my hands at night.

The hardest part about this business is accepting the back end with the same love that you accepted the front end.

Sometimes I get mad when I think that I only have maybe 40 or 50 more springs in New York. When I miss one, 'cause I'm on location for a film, I wanna go, 'That's it, that just cost me one of my 50!'

Distance is not for the fearful it is for the bold. Its for those who are willing to spend a lot of time alone in exchange for a little time with the one they love. Its for those who know a good thing when they see it even if they dont see it nearly enough.

The idea behind fast food is great people want convenience.

Not looking for excuses is the right thing to do. I have made a lot of mistakes, and I still make mistakes, but I am not ashamed to look for the reasons behind those mistakes.

Westerns are a type of picture which everybody can see and enjoy. Westerns always make money. And they always increase a star's fan following.

You've simply got to go on and on with your family and friends and tell them how much you love them because you never know whether they'll be there tomorrow, do you?

You know those award shows. The cliche is that it's an honor just to be nominated, but that happens to be true. Whoever wins it in the end, I don't know, sometimes it feels arbitrary. Sometimes it feels like it's deserving.

Britney and I are on the same page. There are no grudges. We communicate on disciplining the kids, and if they're grounded here, they're grounded there. She's a completely different person - as the kids will tell you!

It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are.

Continue to surprise those who would put you in a neat demographic. Be insistently curious.

A real book is not one that we read, but one that reads us.

The Marines was a fresh start - that is why they shave your head. I wish they would let you change your name.

I've got a range as an actor! There was a time I played dramatic leading men.

My wife and I are art collectors and architectural crazies.

Fraud is fraud. And consumers of any product - whether you want to buy a car, participate in fantasy football - our laws are very strong in New York and other states that you can't commit fraud.
