In design as in life, smart can also mean wise, kind, inspiring - and cost-effective. And that has a charm all its own.

Smartness runs in my family. When I went to school I was so smart my teacher was in my class for five years.

The definition of genius, really, should be that that person can do what the rest of us have to learn how to do.

I am not sure that I am that smart. I think we work harder. When I was at university, there were a lot of smarter people than me, and they seem not to have done quite so well.

By the way, intelligence to me isn't just being book-smart or having a college degree; it's trusting your gut instincts, being intuitive, thinking outside the box, and sometimes just realizing that things need to change and being smart enough to change it.

I think I am smart unless I am really, really in love, and then I am ridiculously stupid.

I don't know how smart I am. I just try to be what I am. I hope I'm modest. I think that's a desirable trait.

I think I'm pretty smart. I think I'm pretty clever. But there's a lot that you hone in on when you finish your education.

When somebody tells you they're not very smart, they're saying exactly the opposite.

How do you know what it's like to be stupid if you've never been smart?
