I believe that exercise and deprivation may lead to a long life, but not necessarily a happy one
I believe everyone should have a black book, in case you forget who your friends are
I believe designers are way more desirable than movie stars
I believe creatives should get paid not for what you think we do but for how great we make you feel and how good we make you look
