I was always pretty good at designing things.

I discovered at an early age that all I've ever wanted to do is design.

Designing came to me. I didn't have to move.

I was much more interested in making things than in designing them.

My sense of designing is a mix of intuition and intellectual control.

I love designing, and I still do it.

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 did not have a big view of many designers until I got to high school.

I was born in 1935, and as far back as I can remember, I was sketching designs. My first subject was an aircraft, which I imagined myself piloting.

Even today, I am still very child-like while designing. It's a bit like Christmas - each of your designs you create is like unravelling your presents.
