Design is a funny word. Some people think design means how it looks. But of course, if you dig deeper, it's really how it works.
Part of fashion is newness. It's got to be a new combination of elements that's shocking-stunning-beautiful all at the same time. But it doesn't have any emotion.
The ultimate goal of the architect...is to create a paradise. Every house, every product of architecture... should be a fruit of our endeavour to build an earthly paradise for people.
The tubular steel chair is surely rational from technical and constructive points of view. It is light, suitable for mass production, and so on. But steel and chromium surfaces are not satisfactory from the human point of view.
I wouldn't say design has become strictly functional. A lot of cars these days look downright comic book to me, and the info-gadgets with which late industrial people spend the most time - phones, music players, etc. - are blobjects.
I am a person who believes in form, in the harmony of order. Where we can, we must give things a meaningful shape.

People confuse 'pretty' with good cinematography.
The way the films look will never entertain an audience alone. It has to be in the service of a good story with great characters.

Form and function are a unity, two sides of one coin. In order to enhance function, appropriate form must exist or be created.
Every form correctly seen is beautiful
I think good-looking people seldom make good television. And American television studios almost concede before they start: 'Well, it won't be good, but at least it'll be good-looking. We'll have nice-looking girls in tight shirts with F.B.I. badges and fit-looking guys with lots of hair gel vaulting over things.'
I couldn't just be good on the mic. I needed to be good on the mic; I needed to be good in the ring; I need to be good in my presentation; my ring attire need to look good, my appearance.
