“While making art you should just do what is in your heart.”

A powerful tool in the early stages of developing scenarios is to pretend the interface is magic.

We seem to be keeping old fans and are bringing on new fans that are teenagers. I think that is amazing.

My computer’s memory stores a million phone numbers with perfect accuracy, but I have to stop and think to recall my own.

No matter how beautiful, no matter how cool your interface, it would be better if there were less of it.

Design principle: Take things away until the design breaks, then put that last thing back in.

If your persona has goals and the product has magical powers to meet them, how simple could the interaction be? This kind of thinking is useful to help designers look outside the box.

Just how do I design if not with prototyping? An excellent question. The short answer is ‘on paper.’

Typography should not vary widely in an interface.

Ironically, the thing that will likely make the least improvement in the ease of use of software-based products is new technology.

When I was a teenager, that was when I fell in love with music. It affected me in a deep way. That’s why I love having teenagers at our shows.

There are so many people in the world who are eager to do for you things that you do not wish done, provided only that you will do for them things that you don’t wish to do.

These people are great because they just say, ‘I’ma do that,’ and they do it. That’s it. There’s no scientifical process.

Schools receive 12% more per student for those doing media studies or psychology than they do for those doing maths. You could change that around, made a premium on doing maths.

You could do so much for me if you just would. If you just knew. I am I and you are you and I know it and you don’t know it and you could do so much for me if you just would and if you just would then I could tell you and then nobody would have to know it except you and me.
