I don't believe in the model of pure inspiration. All of my creative work stems from a dialogue with others.

If you're a designer, there's got to be some films that you've seen that have inspired you creatively. There's no escaping that.

I think the job of an original designer is to inspire.

People are looking for inspiration, and my books are sometimes the vehicles of what people are looking for.

Inspiration comes from all different places.

People often ask writers where they get their inspiration, and for me, the short answer is that I haven't a clue; I'm just grateful that I get them.

Inspiration comes from everywhere: books, art, people on the street. It is an interior process for me.

Being inspired is one thing, but completely knocking off a design is another. There is a big difference.

Inspiration usually comes during work, rather than before it.
