I don't just want to create products. I want to reach into people's hearts and minds. I want to create memories.

Modernism is an outmoded way of thinking about design: it just doesn't reflect the way we live now. It always puts forward this idea that the past is irrelevant to tomorrow - and tomorrow is all that matters. But the past is part of who we are.

The fundamental dogma of Modernism - that, if the past is irrelevant to the future, then today is irrelevant to tomorrow - has created a throwaway society of disposable objects. That is sick.

I collect memories. I look for opportunities to try new things, go to new places, and meet new people all the time.

I wasn't captivated by the romance of Paris or London. I love visiting, but I'd rather be in L.A.

People say, 'What's the secret to a marriage?' There's no secret - I think you get lucky.

Music has been so healing in my life, so the fact that my music could be that for someone else is the best gift of my whole career. People have told me that they got married to my music, divorced to my music, and played my music while they were having their baby.

Marriage has no guarantees. If that's what you're looking for, go live with a car battery.
