A friend doesn't go on a diet because you are fat.

I have been dairy free for several years and I started because I felt it was going to reduce my allergies which it did and help me lose weight which it did.

If you've got a big gut and you start doing sit-ups you are going to get bigger because you build up the muscle. You've got to get rid of that fat! How do you get rid of fat? By changing your diet.

You all know that each title in the Chronicles has a chess theme that's partly because of the overall design of the Chronicles themselves - the game of chess as an analogue of the game of life.

English is taking over the world. I just wrote a piece about it. And it's not by design. The United States dominates because it's the biggest market.

There is no reason to design buildings that are more basic and rectilinear because with concrete you can cover almost any space.

I do love DVD and I've always taken them seriously. You know on the Austin things we really put a ton of work into them because there's so much design involved. And in this one we thought a lot about it and what could go in.

So that ideas of sort of relaxed symmetry have been something for years that I have been concerned with because I think that symmetry is a neutral shape as opposed to a form of design.

The gays like 'Project Runway' because it's a fashion and the gays are into fashion and into design. It's a creative industry and most of the gays are pretty creative in general. That's just like the culture. We're not all into politics necessarily. We're more into the creative environment. I also think Heidi is a big draw. The boys love Heidi and think she's so fabulous. I just think it's a glitzy fun show and there are also always lots of gay boys on it and you know that's fun.

I actually started as a model builder and quickly progressed into production design which made sense because I could draw and paint. But I kept watching that guy over there who was moving the actors around and setting up the shots.

Species go extinct because there are historical contraints built into a given body or a given design.

Everyone wants an iPhone but it would be impossible to design an iPhone in China because it's not a product it's an understanding of human nature.

Luckily I don't have to buy shoes anymore because I design them! I'm off tour so I can dive in and create the shoes that I want for my line. But okay I did buy a pair of vintage combat boots because they were so beaten up - I had to have them.

I'm not into politics but I am committed to a cause: ensuring design technology and engineering stays on the U.K. curriculum alongside science and maths - grounding abstract theory merging the practical with the academic.

I approve designs not because I think I am more gifted or somebody who can see ahead three or four years from now but just to make sure that the design is a logical rational decision taken after analyzing pros and cons.

That was always my frustration with so many of these shows because design is not an ambush... it's a relationship. You have to know how people move and live and work to be able to design for them.

I can design a collection in a day and I always do cause I've always got a load of Italians on my back moaning that it's late.
