It is sad that so many designers don't know how to make. CAD software can make a bad design look palatable! It is sad that four years can be spent on a 3D design course without making anything! People who are great at designing and making have a great advantage.
— Jonathan Ive
I love creating things, especially out of metal. There's something truly satisfying about shaping a piece of metal and seeing the impurities peeling away as you weld it into your chosen design.
— Sean Bean

— Mary J. Blige
Empathy is key in the design process, especially when you start expanding outside of your comfort zone to new languages, cultures, and age groups. If you try to assume what those people want, you're likely to get it wrong.

It is not possible to design always the same. How to be different in each different place - that is the most important work and duty of the architect to find out.

— Gary Hamel
That's something I learned in art school. I studied graphic design in Germany, and my professor emphasized the responsibility that designers and illustrators have towards the people they create things for.

— Alexander the Great
The dreaded phrase in design circles is 'show and tell.'
— David Carson
There are many designers who have much greater talent as a designer than I do, but they may not have my drive, they may not work as hard, they may not have the focus, the desire... You have to have a talent because, at the end of the day, if the pants you design don't make someone's butt look great, they're not going to buy them.
— Tom Ford
There are two methods in software design. One is to make the program so simple, there are obviously no errors. The other is to make it so complicated, there are no obvious errors.
— Tony Hoare

A small change at the beginning of the design process defines an entirely different product at the end.

— Diane von Furstenberg
Ninety percent of games lose money; 10 percent make a lot of money. And there's a consistency around the competitive advantages you create, so if you can actually learn how to do the art, the design, and the programming, you would be consistently very profitable.
— Gabe Newell
It would have been difficult to design a path out of communism worse than the one that has been followed.
— Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Boeing just took $20 billion and 10 years to improve the efficiency of their planes by 10 percent. That's pretty lame. I have a design in mind for a vertical liftoff supersonic jet that would be a really big improvement.
— Elon Musk
Good design should be honest.
— Ferdinand Porsche
If you want to communicate something, you'd better make sure that your design piece is well-dressed and that its teeth are fixed. At the same time, I still believe that if it is only stylistically great and it has nothing to say, it still is not going to make a lasting impression on anybody.
— Stefan Sagmeister
I design therefore I become.
— Jason Silva

— Manolo Blahnik
The artist in me cries out for design.

People say I design architectural icons. If I design a building and it becomes an icon, that's ok.

— Frank Gehry

— Nate Berkus
I'm always drooling over great design, from fashion to furniture.
— Janina Gavankar
I have been fully involved in designing my stage shows; it's important to me to do something really unique and almost off-the-wall to bring the music and the visuals together. I love design and actually went to school for a bit for graphic design, so it isn't so much 'pressure' for me; it's a way to be creative, and I really enjoy it.
— Afrojack
It's not enough to have a hacker culture anymore. You have to have a design culture, too.
— Robert Scoble
The interesting thing about Android's design is how little we modified the kernel.
— Robert Love
My popularity has to do with the divorce between modern art, where everything is obscure, and the viewer who often feels he needs a professor to tell them whether it's good or not. I believe a painting has to talk directly to the viewer, with composition, color and design, without a professor to explain it.
— Fernando Botero
I thank Marc Jacobs so much for giving me the opportunity to design a shoe for Louis Vuitton, but the thing that broke my heart most was when they said, 'You're finished. The shoe's finished.'
— Kanye West
Airplanes were invented by natural selection. Now you can say that intelligent design designs our airplanes of today, but there was no intelligent design really designing those early airplanes. There were probably at least 30,000 different things tried, and when they crash and kill the pilot, don't try that again.
— Burt Rutan
Today, tomorrow and every day, we will see at least 2,000 young children killed or seriously injured on the world's roads. This is unacceptable, preventable, and we have to stop it. We have the vaccines for this disease: helmets, seatbelts, speed enforcement, safe road design. We just need to use them.
— Michelle Yeoh
You find a story - or more importantly, you find some characters - that you want to be around as a filmmaker. The style and how we're going to shoot it and how we're going to design it and how it's all going to feel and look depends on that story. They tell me how I should shoot it.
— Morten Tyldum
I credit my mom with inspiring in me a love of design, matched by her creative problem-solving abilities. This is a woman who could find an old, discarded piece of furniture, bring it home and turn it into something fabulous.
— Candice Olson
When the Great Fire of London destroyed most of the medieval city in 1666, Christopher Wren was invited to design a new one. Within days, he had drawn up an elegant grid of broad boulevards leading to majestic squares, but it came to nothing - the existing landowners wanted things as they had been.
— Norman Foster
I'm not like most designers, who have to set sail on an exotic getaway to get inspired. Most of the time, it's on my walk to work, or sitting in the subway and seeing something random or out of context.
— Alexander Wang
My particular aesthetic of light and color and design wouldn't change as a result of working with computer graphics rather than with slit scan or miniatures.
— Douglas Trumbull

— Ed Westwick
Any design, whether it's for a ship or an airplane, must be done in anticipation of potential failures.
— Henry Petroski
I do quite like Gehry's Guggenheim. But where in Bilbao it's seen as an outgrowth of years of investment in urban design and engineering, in Britain it's seen as the catalyst for urban regeneration rather than the icing on the cake.
— David Chipperfield
Nike is the uniform for kids all over the world, and African design has been killed by Nike. Africans no longer want to wear their own designs.

— Leo Fender
Designs of purely arbitrary nature cannot be expected to last long.
— Kenzo Tange

— Cameron Sinclair
Also note that invariably when we design something that can be used by those with disabilities, we often make it better for everyone.
— Donald Norman
Books are but waste paper unless we spend in action the wisdom we get from thought - asleep. When we are weary of the living, we may repair to the dead, who have nothing of peevishness, pride, or design in their conversation.
— William Butler Yeats
The mind is like a richly woven tapestry in which the colors are distilled from the experiences of the senses, and the design drawn from the convolutions of the intellect.
— Carson McCullers
A good scientist is a person with original ideas. A good engineer is a person who makes a design that works with as few original ideas as possible. There are no prima donnas in engineering.
— Freeman Dyson
The actual tragedies of life bear no relation to one's preconceived ideas. In the event, one is always bewildered by their simplicity, their grandeur of design, and by that element of the bizarre which seems inherent in them.
— Jean Cocteau
Biological engineering is not necessarily understanding systems but rather, I want to be able to design and build biological systems to perform particular applications.
— Drew Endy
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.
— Robert Rauschenberg
If I designed a computer with 200 chips, I tried to design it with 150. And then I would try to design it with 100. I just tried to find every trick I could in life to design things real tiny.
— Steve Wozniak
The garden, by design, is concerned with both the interior and the land beyond the garden.
— Stephen Gardiner
It's about the power of design and the power of the human spirit. It's above paying anybody to do something stupid for money like reality television does - like ambushing people.
— Genevieve Gorder
The scientific argument advanced for intelligent design at the Dover trial, those arguments collapsed, scientifically and intellectually.
— Kenneth R. Miller
God is His own Design and End, and that there is no other Worthy of Him.
— Mary Astell
Design can never be an ultimate explanation for anything. It can only be a proximate explanation. A plane or a car is explained by a designer but that's because the designer himself, the engineer, is explained by natural selection.
— Richard Dawkins
I've always loved interior design.
— Genie Francis
Designing is my hobby. If I didn't do what I do for a living - at some point when I don't do this for a living - I'll probably just do design work. I love finding really special pieces of furniture.
— Ellen DeGeneres
To be able to design for the plus-sized consumer, for me, that's just beyond. It's a dream.
— Khloe Kardashian
When you say 'design,' everybody thinks of magazine pages. So it's an emotive word. Everybody thinks it's how something looks, whereas for me, design is pretty much everything.
— James Dyson
I love the idea of couture and its emphasis on creation. There's where I made my name - in design - and there's where I'd like to stay.
— Jimmy Choo
Classical design is a mirror of the human mind. It's how we see the world.
— Robert McKee
As the world's 'most dynamic' cities seek to manage their own urban growth, American state and local officials have much to offer.

— Robert Hormats
A business woman needs a successful mix of design and practicality.
— Donatella Versace
Architects feel empowered to give opinions about politics and sociology and philosophy without knowing much about it. Kind of in the same way that they think they can design furniture or fashion or utensils for dining.
— Rafael Vinoly
Biomimicry is basically taking a design challenge and then finding an ecosystem that's already solved that challenge, and literally trying to emulate what you learn.
— Janine Benyus
There are really two things that have to occur in order for a new technology to be affordable to the mass market. One is you need economies of scale. The other is you need to iterate on the design. You need to go through a few versions.
— Elon Musk
What I love most about Her Majesty is that she has kept hats alive in people's minds for more than 60 years. You can't think of her without imagining her with a hat or a crown. I would, of course, love to design one for her.
— Philip Treacy
Architects design buildings; that's what we do, so we have to go with the flow; and, even though I'm still an old Leftie, global capitalism does have its good side. It's broken down barriers - the Berlin Wall, the Soviet Union - it's raised a lot of people up economically, and for architects, it has meant that we can work around the world.
— Richard Rogers
A greater focus on design in all new homes would make the best use of land, create homes and public spaces, and reinforce the structures of urban life.
— Richard Rogers
Each season I strive to design a forward-thinking and effortless collection with a very clean minimalist aesthetic.
— Francisco Costa
Unlike traditional nursing homes, Green House homes provide elders with a high quality of life and quality of care in a setting that feels like a real home. By altering the facility size, interior design, staffing patterns and service-delivery method, the Green House model provides residents better, safer and more personalized care.
— Risa Lavizzo-Mourey
I wouldn't know how to design. I couldn't even if I wanted to, for I can't draw, and a pair of scissors in my hands becomes a dangerous weapon.
— Jean Patou
By far the most difficult skill I learned as a C.E.O. was the ability to manage my own psychology. Organizational design, process design, metrics, hiring and firing were all relatively straightforward skills to master compared with keeping my mind in check.
— Ben Horowitz
I'm experimenting in public. At the design grad schools, these are people sitting around in groups, putting their work on a wall, analyzing it and putting it back in a drawer. I think there's little risk in that.
— David Carson
You cannot design shoes if you only think about fashion; it's too realistic. When I design, I dream.
— Giuseppe Zanotti
I feel that every day, all of us now are being blasted by information design. It's being poured into our eyes through the Web, and we're all visualizers now; we're all demanding a visual aspect to our information. There's something almost quite magical about visual information. It's effortless; it literally pours in.
— David McCandless
I learned that the first technology appeared in the form of stone tools, 2.6 million years ago. First entertainment comes evidence from flutes that are 35,000 years old. And evidence for first design comes 75,000 years old - beads. And you can do the same with your genes and track them back in time.
— Zeresenay Alemseged
I love to design and remodel houses, from working with the contractors to picking the colours, materials, kitchen and bathroom accessories to finally what furniture goes where.
— Olivia Newton-John
Apple's Industrial Design team is harder to get into than the Illuminati, and part of the reason is because no one leaves. In the last 15 years, not one of the 18 designers has ditched Apple for greener pastures.
— Jonathan Ive
Costume design is so important and really helpful, and I really love that aspect of character development, just figuring it out.
— Katherine Waterston
My personal fascination with the power of the crowd has been growing: Exactly what can a 'crowd' accomplish? We know crowds can raise billions of dollars, create Wikipedia, and even design and build small autonomous drones. But how about something large and complex like designing a new car, and maybe someday even a spaceship?
— Peter Diamandis
Design is nothing if not decision making.
— Henry Petroski
After I left school, where I studied art, photography and textiles at A-level, I started doing an apprenticeship in interior design, but I wasn't really enjoying it very much, so I decided to do something creative, and in 2009, I began blogging.
— Zoe Sugg
Why should we build very large spaces when they are not necessary? We can design halls spanning several kilometres and covering a whole city, but we have to ask, what does it really make? What does society really need?
— Frei Otto
Often, we think that things are the way they are because of intelligent design - because somebody super-smart, or some group of academics, came up with the best system ever to do XYZ. Actually, things are often the way they are because of an accident of history.
— Leila Janah
There's a fun, nostalgic aspect to Legos - people connect to the art on a different level. But it's also a medium that lets me design anything I can imagine. I especially enjoy creating curvy forms using rectangular pieces. Up close, you notice the sharp angles, but when you back away, the corners blend into curves.
— Nathan Sawaya
Good design to me is both appearance and functionality together. It's the experience that makes it good design.
— Michael Graves
I weirdly love interior design and real estate and all of that. I really do. I get chills from it.
— Kendall Jenner
Write out the story - rapidly, fluently, and not too critically - following the second or narrative-order synopsis. Change incidents and plot whenever the developing process seems to suggest such change, never being bound by any previous design.
— H. P. Lovecraft
Everything else - music, cinematography, costumes, design, acting - can be judged at face value. But when you're looking at editing, you don't know what the totality of the material was, and you don't know the working dynamic between a director and an editor - whether the editor was micromanaged or given free rein. It's very difficult.
— Christopher Rouse
I have the same sense of discovery and exhilaration from objects of design and everyday use - I am inspired by the buildings in my city, by park greenery and dazzling store windows, by the jaunty strollers and umbrellas and billboards I walk past. Just strolling our streets, we encounter creativity every single day.
— Agnes Gund
If a major source of the nation's news is personalizing user experiences, people with different points of view will end up in echo chambers of their own design. Facebook didn't create that problem, but it shouldn't aggravate it.
— Cass Sunstein
There is a design behind the world that we are living in, which is veiled to most of us most of the time, but every once in a while, you catch a glimpse of it.
— Mark Frost
By coincidence and not design, 'Everstar' is written and drawn by an all-female creative team, and it makes me smile to think that there may be young female readers out there, future writers and artists, who get to see that comics doesn't have to be a 'boys' club.'
— Mark Waid
If I wanted to do clothes or if I wanted to make a building or design a choreography, you are able to do that - they are all under a similar kind of design umbrella.
— Zaha Hadid
If I knew for a certainty that a man was coming to my house with the conscious design of doing me good, I should run for my life.
— Henry David Thoreau
If there is a gay uniform, the differences are in how each man coordinates the details: the brand and cut of the jeans, the design of belts and boots, the haircut, the number and size of earrings.
— Lance Loud
Now I design what I want to wear, and it works that way.
— Alexander McQueen
Nothing I do is by design. It's always the result of a happy accident. I didn't have a career plan. It has just become the way it is. It's all good fun.
— Lena Headey
When I concentrate on a specific site or place for which I am going to design a building, I try to plumb its depths, its form, its history and its sensuous qualities.
— Peter Zumthor
In fashion design, you can divide people into two groups. You have people who come with an aesthetic that is there forever, even if it evolves. Then you have people I call 'jumpers.' One season it can be this; the next season it's completely something else. I always knew I am more of a jumper.
— Raf Simons
You can almost say that a design error is a human error because, after all, it's we humans who do the designing.
— Henry Petroski
Design is a vital component to the enrichment of our everyday lives. Japan has a very rich history and culture of design, and I feel it is a very important dialogue to open and keep evolving.
— Issey Miyake
As the Industrial Age is drawing to a close, I think that we're witnessing the dawn of the era of biological design.
— Craig Venter
I'm an artist, so I love the graphic design of Instagram.
— Pierce Brosnan
I love the way my tattoos look. I especially love Japanese-style tattoos and being completely sleeved by them, so it's not just these little individual and unrelated pieces, but everything's working together to create a larger design.
— Nikki Sixx
The problem with State of the Union speeches is that they are, by their nature and design, alphabet soup. It's hard to know what a president really cares about when they run down a laundry list and check every issue box under the sun for fear they will offend some constituency if they don't.
— Mark McKinnon
Google has withdrawn from China, arguing that it is no longer willing to design its search engine to block information that the Chinese government does not wish its citizens to have. In liberal democracies around the world, this decision has generally been greeted with enthusiasm.
— Peter Singer
It's aggravating that Hollywood has never gotten credit for the role it played in promoting modern design.
— Camille Paglia
I like to hike and cook. I enjoy furniture and design - not making it, just looking at it. I'm always kind of trying to spread my interests around and try new things.
— Kevin Bacon
But I'm blessed to work with great people. I collaborate with brilliant stylists both here and in Paris. I work with a great design team. I really allow everyone to bring their ideas. I almost rely on them to inspire me.
— Marc Jacobs
It's one thing to make financial aid available to students so they can attend college. It's another thing to design forms that students can actually fill out.
— Cass Sunstein
All I've ever wanted to do is design and make it's what I love doing. 
— Jonathan Ive
I find that when I write, I need things to be quiet, but when I design, I can't bear it if it's quiet.
— Jonathan Ive
I'm always up for collaborating with brands and people who actually design, but doing your own line is a whole other beast. I don't think I could deal with the criticism.
— Travis Scott
I don't design down to a price.
— James Dyson
One of the biggest differences between you and a traditionally published author is that a self-pubbed author is responsible for everything. Not just writing the book - but cover design, editing, producing, distribution, and publicity as well.
— M. J. Rose
You have to have talent to design and to dress thousands of women or millions of women around the world. And you know very well, the only thing they want is to look more beautiful.
— Carolina Herrera
There's a perennial debate about whether the propagandistic tripe produced by establishment media outlets is shaped more by evil or by stupidity. Personally, I think it's both: a healthy dose of each is needed. The system design is malicious, while those who serve as its public face are generally vacant.
— Glenn Greenwald
I love cities, I spend most of my life talking about cities. And the design of cities does have an effect on your life. You're lucky if you can see trees out of your window and you have a square nearby, or a bar, a cornershop, a surgery. Then you're living well.
— Richard Rogers
I don't design my own clothes. It's so not what I think about.
— Colleen Atwood
I truly believe that we're about to enter a second golden age of design. The first one was in the '50s and '60s, when designers like Raymond Loewy, Charles Eames, George Nelson and Dieter Rams were shepherds of the brands they were working with. They had influence over the products and how companies communicated and promoted themselves.
— Yves Behar
There are so many women throughout the world who appreciate beautiful design and have the budget to buy designer fashion but sometimes have a hard time finding the things that they really want or that suit their lifestyle or their culture or whatever it may be.
— Aslaug Magnusdottir
The illusion of purpose and design is perhaps the most pervasive illusion about nature that science has to confront on a daily basis.
— Lawrence M. Krauss
You'll never see me with a precision flick of eyeliner. Messy eyeliner became my thing by accident rather than design. If you can't get it straight, then just work it in around your eyes.
— Edie Campbell
If you depend on a secret for your security, what do you do when the secret is discovered? If it is easy to change, like a cryptographic key, you do so. If it's hard to change, like a cryptographic system or an operating system, you're stuck. You will be vulnerable until you invest the time and money to design another system.
— Whitfield Diffie
The first 10 years of my professional life had only to do with running away from my father. He was a wonderful cabinet-maker, and me being the eldest son, I had to take over his shop, his profession and so on and so on. I tried to escape by going to art school and then going on to industrial design and then interior design.
— Peter Zumthor
If you have 50 different plug types, appliances wouldn't be available and would be very expensive. But once an electric outlet becomes standardized, many companies can design appliances, and competition ensues, creating variety and better prices for consumers.
— Bill Gates
The typical project design time for a large company like IBM - and they keep track of this - is a little over four years.
— Bill Gates
The great majority of Baghdad is a slum - a lot of it's new, but it's still slum. It's usually this concrete-block, one-room design with a door and a window, arranged one-up, one-down, often with a shop with nothing in it on the first floor, and then a one-room apartment above it. There's street after street after street of that stuff.
— P. J. O'Rourke
It was Einstein's dream to discover the grand design of the universe, a single theory that explains everything. However, physicists in Einstein's day hadn't made enough progress in understanding the forces of nature for that to be a realistic goal.
— Stephen Hawking
I was at Emily Carr College of Art and Design in Vancouver for four years, and I loved it.
— Douglas Coupland
I don't act, I don't direct, I don't design.
— Tom Stoppard
I have a notebook, and I know what decisions will be made in pre-production. Everything is pre-determined in the pre-production period. I visually design the whole thing, and I know when things will happen.
— Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
Designers are very fickle. I never wanted to be a victim of that. You're in one minute, out the next.
— Tyra Banks
There's a simple arithmetical logic at work. Build more unaffordable and not always architecturally sympathetic apartments, watch the rents rise, the tarts leave, the small shops, production offices and design studios close down, and hey presto, we have another fashionable London suburb indistinguishable from the rest.
— Howard Jacobson
Economic engineering is about the design and analysis of frameworks for achieving specific economic objectives.
— Ben Bernanke
I spearhead interior design for all Trump projects.
— Ivanka Trump
Most of the things at the zoo don't look like us. We're one design that works. Our chimp pals sort of look like us, so that's a different take on the same basic design. But fish don't look like us, and giraffes don't. They look a little like us, but not too much. And insects certainly don't look like us, and they work just fine.
— Seth Shostak
I'm a designer, and I think if you work in fashion, you have to give people fantasy.
— Christian Louboutin
I'd already decided I wanted to design shoes after I saw a sign in the Museum of African and Oceanic Art forbidding high heels. Well, who could resist?
— Christian Louboutin
I never was interested in being part of the fashion world - I just wanted to design shoes. I didn't even know 'Vogue' existed when I was growing up. 'Vogue,' what is that?'
— Christian Louboutin
I have no problem with the idea of comfort, but it is not an important thing aesthetically. If you look at a shoe and immediately say it looks very comfortable, in terms of design, it is not going to excite me. Of course, I am not putting nails in my shoes to ensure everybody is in pain, but a heel is not a pair of slippers and never will be.
— Christian Louboutin
I never wanted to design clothes. I never wanted to work for the fashion industry. Shoes sort of belong to the fashion industry, which is why I'm part of the fashion industry. But that's never been my thought. My thought since I was a child was really to design those shoes for girls on stage.
— Christian Louboutin
I never wanted to work in fashion. At age 12 or 13, I wanted to design for showgirls - for the theater! And I was crazy for the Hollywood of the 1950s: Dietrich, Elizabeth Taylor, Jennifer Jones. They were my idea of glamour - and Sylvie Vartan, the French singer.
— Christian Louboutin
At age 12 or 13, I wanted to design for showgirls - for the theater!
— Christian Louboutin
Gorillas are still wild creatures. That's made very clear when you observe them in nature. They charge and perform other displays that are terrifying by design. But they don't attack unless they feel threatened.
— Andy Serkis
My mom modeled and made clothes, so I always had such an appreciation for design.
— Blake Lively
Design, whether it's on your body or in your home, is the same thing. It's mixing different colors, different textures, and unexpected patterns - elements that you wouldn't often put together in an interesting way.
— Blake Lively
I'm a total control freak and love to participate in the design of every single aspect of life.
— Drew Barrymore
All those lessons that I've learned on the court, I have applied them to my life outside of the court in business, my company, called V Starr interiors, an interior design company, and EleVen, which I wear on court.
— Venus Williams
My style is kind of eclectic and I don't like to do the same thing over and over again. I like to have fun and explore myself so you won't see the same design.
— Venus Williams
I love design.
— Venus Williams
There's so many interesting aspects of making a movie: the costume department, the set design, the casting itself, the locations.
— Jason Statham
In a biological system, the software builds its own hardware, but design is critical, and if you start with digital information, it has to be really accurate.
— Craig Venter
When you think of all the things that are made from oil or in the chemical industry, if in the future we could find cells to replace most of those processes, the ideal way would be to do it by direct design.
— Craig Venter
Agriculture as we know it needs to disappear. We can design better and healthier proteins than we get from nature.
— Craig Venter
Sometime in the future, I am a hundred percent certain scientists will sit down at a computer terminal, design what they want the organism to do, and build it.
— Craig Venter
Trends in fashion, design and pop culture are taking on more global influence, and of course, one thing that's always in style is color.
— Brad Goreski
I have too much product, and I'm trying to rein it in and sell more of my main collection. I wish you didn't have to design so often; it would be good if you could keep on selling the same things for a few years and not have to do new things all the time.
— Vivienne Westwood
I wish you didn't have to design so often. Try to do quality and cut down on quantity. I think fashion is very, very important.
— Vivienne Westwood
The thing that makes my clothes really different is that, number one, they are really great designs; they're not tacky; they are very professional; the design is made from lots of decisions.
— Vivienne Westwood
I design things to help people to hopefully express their personality.
— Vivienne Westwood
Steve Jobs was the greatest manufacturer of consumer products of his age. His marketing vision put him on par with Henry Ford, and his grasp of the aesthetic component to industrial design far surpassed Ford's.
— Timothy Noah
In design as in life, smart can also mean wise, kind, inspiring - and cost-effective. And that has a charm all its own.
— Nancy Gibbs
I love French auto design of the early '50s, '60s, early '70s of Citorens, Renaults, and Peugeots. They're so unique.
— John Lasseter
Because I am much like Reagan and Margaret Thatcher, I'm such an unconventional political figure that you really need to design a unique campaign that fits the way I operate.
— Newt Gingrich
Unfortunately, some women want to remake their husbands after their own design.
— Gordon B. Hinckley
The possibility that terrorist groups could obtain weapons of mass destruction should not be dismissed as a fiction. This is a horrific threat the international community should take seriously. As long as these weapons exist, so, too, does the risk of their use - by accident or design.
— Ban Ki-moon
Although people often equate them, glamour is not the same as beauty, stylishness, luxury, celebrity, or sex appeal. It is not limited to fashion or film; nor is it intrinsically feminine. It is not a collection of aesthetic markers - a style, as fashion and design use the word.
— Virginia Postrel
We've gone from a world in which Starbucks set a cutting-edge standard for mass-market design to a world in which Starbucks establishes the bare minimum. If your establishment can't come up with an original look, customers expect at least some sleek wood fixtures, nicely upholstered chairs, and faux-Murano glass pendant lights.
— Virginia Postrel
The profusion of fonts is one more product of the digital revolution. Beginning in the mid-'80s and accelerating in the 1990s, type design weathered the sort of radical, technology-driven transformation that other creative industries, including music, publishing, and movies, now face.
— Virginia Postrel
Everything that I design I would wear myself.
— Victoria Beckham
Most of the robots being developed for home use are functional in design - Gecko's homecare robot looks rather like the Star Wars robot R2-D2. Honda and Sony are designing robots that look more like the same movie's 'android' C-3PO.
— Peter Singer
My affliction has been... I can make something or draw something or design something better than I can explain it.
— Brad Pitt
I'd like to design something like a city or a museum. I want to do something hands on rather than just play golf which is the sport of the religious right.
— Brad Pitt
I might want to open a hotel and design all the rooms. Or maybe a museum that lets me curate all the events.
— Theophilus London
Sacred spaces can be created in any environment.
— Christy Turlington
Video games and YouTube.com are creatively booming, even though Web design, as demonstrated by the ugly clutter of most major news sites, is in the pits.
— Camille Paglia
Well, I design costumes because I started with the theater in Chicago, but somehow a few lines just sort of fell to me to do it. And I studied it in school and I always liked it.
— John Malkovich
You can be a mason and build 50 buildings, but it doesn't mean you can design one.
— John Malkovich
I'm deeply and passionately involved in the design process. I'm a brash American, and if my name is going to be on something, I'm going to have my say.
— Meghan Markle
Summer blockbusters are very expensive to make. They have things that have to be expensive, such as 600 effects shots or CG characters that have to go a certain way, or a film design that is different but expensive.
— Ang Lee
We spent a lot of time trend forecasting and collaborating on ways to design a fresh line of fashion-forward, affordable luxury.
— Kourtney Kardashian
We always say we are a brand for our fans because through social media we're so lucky to see what people are asking us for, what they're looking for, and so we really design what we like but also take our fans in mind.
— Kourtney Kardashian
We do have a two against one rule. If two sisters feel very strongly about a design or trend we want to try, we go for it.
— Kourtney Kardashian
Designing was always something I was interested in. I studied fashion design in high school as well as how to sew.
— Kourtney Kardashian
The promise I've tried to honor my entire career, that the rule of law and the design of the founders, right, the oversight of courts and the oversight of Congress will be at the heart of what the FBI does.
— James Comey
The new Zune may not be an iPod killer, but it does offer a clean interface, great industrial design, HD radio, and a subscription model for music, making it significantly less expensive for big users.
— Douglas Rushkoff
When he entered the Oval Office - by fate, not by design - Citizen Ford knew that he was not perfect, just as he knew he was not perfect when he left. But what president ever was?
— Tom Brokaw
We had the Windows app store in Windows 8, but one of the big changes in the design of Windows 10 is to make sure that the app store is front and center where our usage is, which is the desktop.
— Satya Nadella
The stylish kids on the street, they're the ones that set the trends. The designers see what they're doing and go and design their line and sell it back to the same kids, and it's like, why not go directly to the source?
— Rihanna
Whether it's an $11 flip-flop or a $2 key ring or a $2,000 dress, they're all done with integrity. They're all done with a design sense. As long as the creativity exists, then I don't think it's a sellout. A sellout is putting your name on any piece of crap and then expecting people to buy it because it's got your name on it.
— Marc Jacobs
Design is a series of creative choices - it's a collaborative effort, an evolutionary process. You choose your fabrics depending upon what you want to say, then you work with mills to get those fabrics. Through the process, you realize what you want it to be.
— Marc Jacobs
Marc Jacobs is full of creative people and Louis Vuitton is again a name on the door, a name that has existed for many years but I'm a collaborator there and I bring in other people, other artists and I work with a great creative design team.
— Marc Jacobs
I'm not really well educated - other than an art survey course at the High School of Art and Design in New York when I was, like, 15. I don't know the history of art, but I got over intimidation from the art world when I realized that I was allowed to feel whatever I want and like whatever I want.
— Marc Jacobs
We don't design by calculator or by demographics or anything like that. We really are a group of creative, sensitive people. We have our charmed little world where we get to make things. We're really lucky.
— Marc Jacobs
The big deal about the Internet design was you could have an arbitrary large number of networks so that they would all work together.
— Vint Cerf
There are two main methodologies of open source development. There's the Apache model, which is design by committee - great for things like web servers. Then you have the benevolent dictator model. That's what Ubuntu is doing, with Mark Shuttleworth.
— Matt Mullenweg
