When I travel, I just take what I need and I run. I always have my briefcase stuffed with work, even when I go on a holiday. 
The trimmings of wealth are not as important to me and my generation as they were to my parents' generation.
The music I listened to as a kid - the Stones, the Beatles - that was so rebellious at the time, it became mainstream. 
I consider myself fortunate to have grown up in Brooklyn. It's what gave me my drive to succeed, the upward mobility I've been after my whole life.
I have to be more universal than my projects, but no less innovative.
Good design is good business.
