Bigger airplanes, with two aisles instead of one, provide a better experience overall, and I think it's more comfortable.

I came from a hospitality background and saw that 80 percent of seats in cars weren't occupied most of the time.

We played Carnegie Hall, and that was one time where I felt... Carnegie Hall as a legendary, very venerable place to perform. I'd never heard of anyone going into the Hall and kind of standing on the seats and playing throughout the aisles and having the audience stand on the seats. So when we did that in 2013, even for me it was a shock.

I quickly realized that shopping on Amazon had made the idea of parking my car and going into a store feel like an outrageous imposition on my time and good nature.

Ever notice that Soup for One is eight aisles away from Party Mix?

Hollywood's like a warehouse. It's just a place that you go. What's interesting in the warehouse has to do with the creative people.

I want people to love to sit in my chairs. You gotta want the people to buy it because they love it.

People like consistency. Whether it's a store or a restaurant, they want to come in and see what you are famous for.

I can't stand it when restaurants don't have a sense of place in a city. When I'm in London, I want to know I'm in London. When you're sitting in my joint, you know you're sitting in Seattle.
