I remember saying I wanted to be a cosmetologist when I was really young.

I like people too much. I really do.

I'm obsessed with gymnastics. It's like my football. And I like to watch women's gymnastics a little bit more than men's because I live for balance beam.

From the extreme political polarization that is everywhere - there's so much suffering going on - so many people are really thirsty to feel good about something.

The second you're bleaching hair more than three or four levels on a consistent basis and want it long, and then you're heat styling it and living in the world - it's just impossible. You can get it there for a moment, and then you might get a couple re-touches out of it.

I'm really about body positivity and self-love, and I will definitely push the boundary with a pink midriff-baring top.

When you're willing to be vulnerable, you can surprise yourself at how strong you can be.

I want people to fall in love with themselves and to be really proud and full of joy for the space they take up. If someone else appreciates the space you take up, then that's icing on the cake.

Loneliness is, like, when you wish someone else was there, and solitude is when you enjoy being alone. I don't always wanna be alone, but I definitely like pockets of solitude to recharge and come back to myself. I think that's so important for everyone.

I had to fight, a lot of years, to be really proud of the person I see in the mirror and really love this person.

Self-care is the non-negotiable. That's the thing that you have to do. And beauty is the thing that can be the benefit of the self-care. Beauty is not the point. Beauty is just a cute side-effect from self-care.

I love changing hair color. I love doing hair shape. I love the social aspect of salons. I love clients, and because of doing hair, I've heard so many life stories.

You have to create little pockets of joy in your life to take care of yourself.

We won't do something different for different's sake. Designers cave in to marketing, to the corporate agenda, which is sort of, 'Oh, it looks like the last one; can't we make it look different?' Well no, there's no reason to.

That's just tragic, that you can spend four years of your life studying the design of three dimensional objects and not make one.

I always like when you start to use something with a little less reverence. You start to use it a little carelessly, and with a little less thought, because then, I think, you're using it very naturally.

What I think is remarkable is the force of habit and the fact that while we can have a practice for doing something that has been repetitive and established over many, many years, it doesn't actually mean there's any virtue to doing it that way at all.

I think it's important that we learn how to draw and to make something and to do it directly. To understand the properties you're working with by manipulating them and transforming them yourself.

When you feel that the way you interpret the world is fairly idiosyncratic, you can feel somewhat ostracized and lonely.

So much of my background is about making: physically doing it myself.

One of the things that is particularly precious about working at Apple is that many of us on the design team have worked together for 15-plus years, and there's a wonderful thing about learning as a group. A fundamental part of that is making mistakes together.

Often when I talk about what I do, making isn't just this inevitable function tacked on at the end.

Innovation at Apple has always been a team game. It has always been a case where you have a number of small groups working together.

I feel that it's lovely when, as a user, you're not aware of the complexity.
