“The It Bag is a totally marketed bullshit crap. You make a bag, you put all the components in it that you think could work, you send it out to a couple of celebrities, you get the paparazzi to shoot just when they walk out of their house.

I don't believe that's how you make something that's lasting - that becomes iconic as a design.”
“Alter strategies and tactics, but never your principles.”
“When people are facing a severe illness or a major surgery, that may be one of the most significant opportunities for spiritual transformation that they will encounter.”

“The picture should be fecund. It must bring a world to birth.”
