-Jim Henson - "Over the past 20 years, I have noticed that the most flexible, dynamic, inquisitive minds among my students have been industrial design majors.

-Vera Wang - "While a case can be made for intelligent design, I can't figure out why some Christians are so thrilled about that possibility. First of all, it doesn't prove there's a God. If anything, intelligent design lends support to some form of pantheism that defines God as immanent within nature.“

-Ice Cube - "A person should design the way he makes a living around how he wishes to make a life.“

-Sophia Bush - "When I design and wonder what the point is, I think of someone having a bad time in their life. Maybe they are sad and they wake up and put on something I have made and it makes them feel just a bit better. So, in that sense, fashion is a little help in the life of a person. But only a little.“

-Jack Nicklaus - "I've wanted to design golf courses ever since I was a kid. I suppose it comes from the way I've played the game. To find the proper way to play any hole, I've always begun by asking myself what the architect has tried to do with it.“
-Jack Nicklaus - "A Nicklaus Design golf course is done by the guys in my company that I work with, that have been trained in my vision, and they do what they think I might do. They might come in the office and ask me questions and I'd certainly answer their questions, but I'm not involved in the site visits or anything else.“

-Jane Seymour - "The wisdom of crowds works when the crowd is choosing the price of an ox, when there's a single numeric average.

-Jaron Lanier - "The basic problem is that web 2.0 tools are not supportive of democracy by design. They are tools designed to gather spy-agency-like data in a seductive way, first and foremost, but as a side effect they tend to provide software support for mob-like phenomena.“

-Joshua Foer - "I am always locked in my design studio.“

-Mike Mills - "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.“
-James Cameron - "I'm not a size 0, and I'm nowhere close to it. But, I don't want anyone to know what I am so I like to design clothes so you don't know what's going on under there.“
-Rachel Roy - "I can't design anything unless I'm excited by it, meaning I have an urge to wear it.“

-Anthony Holden - "Design is a word that's come to mean so much that it's also a word that has come to mean nothing.“
-Jonathan Ive - "You can get a lot of design testing of your missile program, and you can do a lot of - there's other ways other than physically to develop your weaponization program to get you very close to the real deal.“
-Mike Rogers - "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.“
-Christian Siriano - "The industry's changed so much that you can't just design something, put on a great show, and say, 'Okay, my job is done.'“

-Niklaus Wirth - "Clearly, programming courses should teach methods of design and construction, and the selected examples should be such that a gradual development can be nicely demonstrated.“
-Niklaus Wirth - "I have been wildly enthused about gaming since I was younger, and a career path I chose not to go down but did really consider was getting into programming and game design.“
-Trent Reznor - "I write the way you might arrange flowers. Not every try works, but each one launches another. Every constraint, even dullness, frees up a new design.“
-Richard Powers - "There are two kinds of designers: ones who are very happy locked in their office surrounded by their coterie. The last thing they need to do is to go to a trunk show they'd go running for the hills. I not only enjoy it, I think, how do you design things that are applicable to life - unless you live it?“
-Michael Kors - "People kind of tend to mystify design and architecture by suggesting you need to train.“
-Marc Newson - "Well, I never studied design and I went to art school to study art, you know, sculpture and things like that, and ended up making things like sculpture and started making chairs and jewelry together and that's how I started.“
-Marc Newson - "Design schools are good, I guess, sometimes I visit schools, but they are very very limiting.“
-Marc Newson - "So if I design it and then go away, it's still living somewhere and it still exists by itself without me.“
-Marc Newson - "So if I want to buy a light in a shop and I don't find a light that I like, I think to myself what would I like? What would I like to buy? Then I started to imagine and design it for myself a lot of the time.“
-Marc Newson - "I think it is really important to have a sense of business. As a designer you can get so wrapped up in the design and fashion side that you forget the business side.“
-Tommy Hilfiger - "Websites are kind of useless. There's so much great web content and design out there, but the ways in which they are being experienced are not being maximized.“
-Dhani Harrison - "If you were the first person ever to design an application for the iPhone and you patented it, you would be very, very better off than we are right now, you know? But you've got to be the first one to do it. So I figured that Led Zeppelin or the Stones were going to do it unless we just got on to it. So I got cracking with the guys from Apple.“
-Dhani Harrison - "After working with clothes for so long, it seemed right to design them.“

-Corin Nemec - "We are not inferring design to account for a black box, but to account for an open box.“
-Michael Behe - "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 - "I think taking design out of the studio and really having a relationship with the people that you're making it for really convinced me of how powerful a thing design is. It's not just an aesthetic decoration.“
-Genevieve Gorder - "One of the best animated films I've seen come out of Disney was the Tarzan movie. I wasn't crazy about the story or the design on Tarzan's face, but the traditional animation was spectacular.“
-Ralph Bakshi - "I was in college, and very disappointed. I majored in commercial art and interior design for three or four years. At that time, it seemed the thing I really wanted to do, production design, just wasn't available in the U.K., so I turned to music.“

-Robert Shea - "Ultimately we may still ask, why can't humans design a perfect society?“
-Robert Shea - "To nourish children and raise them against odds is in any time, any place, is more valuable than to fix bolts in cars or design nuclear weapons.“
-Marilyn French - "And then, build a bustling wonderful city of the 21st century, with a restoration of a spectacular skyline, which Manhattan, of course, needs. So, that is really the design as a whole.“
-Daniel Libeskind - "For me, if I can design beautiful things that have the price be lower, I am thrilled.“
-Tory Burch - "You can design a mortgage system that is different without a Fannie and Freddie, but there are principles you have to have, to have a good system.“
-Jamie Dimon - "Traditional horizontal search engines cannot always identify the target audience, niche or vertical industry of a page or site.

-Joseph Lancaster - "I think gardens are fantastic, and I'd love to draw and design and stuff like that. I love just planting flowers during the summer. There's something very humble about it, and natural and beautiful.“

I am waiting for someone to really challenge me - obviously I'm often approached to do film related work, but I would be very happy to design a bar or an amusement park ride. I would love to be an imagineer!“
-Roman Coppola - "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.“
-Jay Roach - "My biggest role as director on the film is keeping a sense of the overview - how to cast the movie and shoot it in such a way that it will cut together. And how to design the style and tone.“
-Jay Roach - "Through no divine design or cosmic plan, we have inherited the mantle of life's caretaker on the earth, the only home we have ever known.“
-Michael Shermer - "No architect troubled to design houses that suited people who were to live in them, because that would have meant building a whole range of different houses. It was far cheaper and, above all, timesaving to make them identical.“

-Bruce Oldfield - "The demise of Google Reader, if logical, is a reminder of how far we've come from the cuddly old 'I'm Feeling Lucky' Google days, in which there was a foreseeably-astonishing delight in the way Google's evolving design tricks anticipated what users would like.“
-James Fallows - "When nearly a third of our high school students do not graduate on time with their peers, we have work to do. We must design our middle and high schools so that no student gets lost in the crowd and disconnected from his or her own potential.“

-Sergio Aragones - "In two days, it's hard to to get the quality you would normally want for a design project.“
-Douglas Wilson - "I look at each episode in two ways - from a design standpoint and from an entertainment standpoint - this is TV, after all. We usually succeed on at least one of the levels.“
-Douglas Wilson - "Throughout the country, I see the same design problems and solutions over and over.“
-Douglas Wilson - "I gave the couple a hint of a design that would work great with the bones of their home. They weren't ready for it, and they embarrassed themselves and that's too bad.“
-Douglas Wilson - "Being in the design industry, I've tended to meet more people who are affected by HIV and AIDS.“

-Jonathan Ive - "Perhaps I'd like to design cars, but I don't think I'd be much good at it.“
-Jonathan Ive - "If you're talking to an architect, he can look at a blank piece of paper, and once the initial design is there, the formula kicks in. Each room should have something unique and different about it - much the same way that in a song, every eight bars or so, a new piece of information should be introduced.“
-Ryan Tedder - "Computers are scary. They're nightmares to fix, lose our stuff, and, on occasion, they crash, producing the blue screen of death. Steve Jobs knew this. He knew that computers were bulky and hernia-inducing and Darth Vader black. He understood the value of declarative design.“
-Wesley Morris - "It was something I was more interested in myself. When I went to see my sister dance at ballet, I was really into costumes and the arts, and my family was also supportive of whatever me and my sister wanted to do. I would say I pushed myself the most to be into design.“
-Christian Siriano - "So I went for engineering, specifically product design, which I enjoyed.“
-Debi Thomas - "When I started this project, I was a young architect. I was very apprehensive about any changes to the design. Whether I wanted to or not, I learned that you can accept some changes to its form without compromising its intent. But it's a leap of faith that I didn't want to make initially - to put it mildly.“
-Michael Arad - "For two years nobody talked about anything other than the name arrangement. There was no fund-raising and no progress being made on construction and design.“
-Michael Arad - "How do you design it so that people can form a space of their own, and feel quiet and contemplative?“
-Michael Arad - "I really appreciate artists of the 20th century, and I can see a lot of their influence on my work, but to suggest that my design only fits within an 'ism' kind of bothers me.“
-Michael Arad - "I used to design for my body, which was flat-chested with big hips. That's why my clothes were tight on top with full skirts.“
-Betsey Johnson - "We have no general conceptual thrust for the band, other than trying to make music that keeps our interest. When things are novel, they are probably things we have discovered by accident or investigation rather than by design.“
-Steve Albini - "Initially, it was the unpractical in fashion that brought me to design my own line. I felt that it was much more attractive to cut clothes with respect for the living, three-dimensional body rather than to cover the body with decorative ideas.“
-Jil Sander - "I think there is always a need for pure design. With pure design, you don't need so much decoration.“
-Jil Sander - "It may sound ambitious, but I really hope that modern design will spread all around the globe.“
-Jil Sander - "Everyone by now presumably knows about the danger of premature optimization. I think we should be just as worried about premature design - designing too early what a program should do.“
-Paul Graham - "I had been impressed by the fact that biological systems were based on molecular machines and that we were learning to design and build these sorts of things.“

-Lance Loud - "Wherever there is a design that is highly successful in a broad range of similar environments, it is apt to emerge again and again, independently - the phenomenon known in biology as convergent evolution. I call these designs 'good tricks.'“
-Daniel Dennett - "There is a group of individuals who are radical jihadists. We need to call them by name. They believe it is OK to kill people in the name of their religion. It is not all of Islam. It is not all Muslims. But there is a subgroup who believe it is OK. In fact, it is their plan and design to kill people.“
-Tim Pawlenty - "And I think my sexuality was heavily repressed by the church, by the, you know, the design of the mortal sins.“
-Thomas Keneally - "So much of it is the design of the shot or the motion of the character it's the work you do so that it has the same things that are in the movie. In just a few frames it's got to communicate something clearly and dramatically.“
-Dennis Muren - "Unfortunately, the client that exists today is still pretty much the prototype design.“
-Shawn Fanning - "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.“

-Robert Moog - "The point is that I don't design stuff for myself. I'm a toolmaker. I design things that other people want to use.“
-Robert Moog - "Leon Theremin's original designs are elegant, ingenious and effective. As electronics goes, the theremin is very simple. But there are so many subtleties hidden in the details of the design. It's like a great sonnet, or a painting, or a speech, that is perfectly done on more than one level.“
-Robert Moog - "We used to be referred to as bakers and then we became known as cake decorators and now we are known as cake designers. I teach at the French Culinary Institute in New York and cake design is a legitimate profession.“
-Ron Ben-Israel - "It was by design that we mostly used pictures that you could not necessarily see what was going on, and that didn't really focus in on the band, but instead focused in on a theme.“
-Mike McCready - "There is not necessarily a good reason why a regulator should have to be involved in product design and marketing for rich and sophisticated investors. We recommend that such investors should be able to sign a piece of paper, which allows them to go ahead and buy unregulated products at their own risk.“
-John Redwood - "Last year, Congress gave the Department of Defense the authority to design a new civilian personnel system for its employees as part of the defense authorization bill.“
-Norm Dicks - "I design some of my own clothes now.“
-Kiernan Shipka - "I now add, farther, that the apostle's argument is so far from proving it to be the duty of people to obey, and submit to, such rulers as act in contradiction to the public good, and so to the design of their office, that it proves the direct contrary.“
-Jonathan Mayhew - "Biological engineering is not necessarily understanding systems but rather, I want to be able to design and build biological systems to perform particular applications.“

-Richard Steele - "Once I got out of architecture school I decided not to be an architect, I just started my own little design studio.“
-Joseph Kosinski - "I don't set goals. Like, that's what I want to be doing however many years from now. I do what I love to do at the moment. If I wake up tomorrow and decide I want to dance, that's what I'd do. Or design clothes.“
-Ayumi Hamasaki - "And just when we were at the end of our design process there was the news that the Italian government and the U.S. government had signed an agreement to fly the first Italian astronaut on that flight.“
-Umberto Guidoni - "I do what I love to do at the moment. If I wake up tomorrow and decide I want to dance, that's what I'd do. Or design clothes. I think I'd throw myself into whatever I'm doing now. It's not about abandoning what I was doing before, or giving up. It's about knowing that if I die tomorrow, I lived the way I wanted to.“
-Ayumi Hamasaki - "Even private persons in due season, with discretion and temper, may reprove others, whom they observe to commit sin, or follow bad courses, out of charitable design, and with hope to reclaim them.“
-Isaac Barrow - "In both business and personal life, I've always found that travel inspires me more than anything else I do. Evidence of the languages, cultures, scenery, food, and design sensibilities that I discover all over the world can be found in every piece of my jewelry.“
-Ivanka Trump - "It is very important to lead the field and innovate in game design.“
-John Romero - "You have to design and program differently. Combat action in an MMO is so different to combat in a first-person shooter.“

-Bonnie Wright - "Well, yes, I mean, I think that, you know, my sources suggest that there's a lot of support for the notion that there is a lot of Koran abuse and that it was very much a systematic design, not just an aberration.“
-Jane Mayer - "I love graphic design. I love working with design, and I love storytelling, so I've been working on a children's book for a while, and I'd like to see that through.“

-Wally Lamb - "We opened a design center in the South of England last year as part of our strategy for being close to our customers and developing innovative products for exciting new markets.“
-David Milne - "Dubstep has everything for me. Rhythm, sound design, heartfelt emotion - all in one place.“
-James Blake - "In any case, his judgment and set of values, acting alone or through his assistants, determine not only what is gold and what is dross but the design of the history which he creates out of the metal. The historian decides what is significant, and what is not.“
-Samuel E. Morison - "I don't design cars. I'm not a designer. I know what I desire to be built, I know what the end result is, the horsepower, the competition we'll be working against - but I leave it to the people who work with me to put it all together. I don't do anything.“
-Caroll Shelby - "I do two things. I design mobile computers and I study brains.“

-Chris Kirkpatrick - "I've always loved interior design.“
-Genie Francis - "Once you come up with a premise, you have to work out how it all happened. It's a bit like coming up with a spectacular roof design first. Before you can get it up there, you need to build a solid foundation and supporting structure.“
-Linwood Barclay - "Nothing they design ever gets in the way of a work of art.“
-Robert Hughes - "The design of those commissioners, frigates and warlike force is directed rather against Long Island and these your Honors' possessions, than to the imagined reform of New England.“

-Yukihiro Matsumoto - "Acting isn't for me. I don't like being told what to do. I'm more interested in set design, more visually driven.“
-Sofia Coppola - "There is a lot of interest in the arts, music, theatre, filmmaking, engineering, architecture and software design. I think we have now transitioned the modern-day version of the entrepreneur into the creative economy.“
-John Baldacci - "Looking back, video game design seems a natural fit, although there was no such thing when I was growing up. I built a Tic-Tac-Toe playing machine in my teens which went up in smoke on the night it was scheduled to go to a science fair.“
