"As designers, we go into another world, into the unknown, so it's important to be experimental and think outside of the box. We've continued to evolve, and photography has now become a huge part of what we do. I love it because you can capture the world around you, finding and sharing magic in the everyday. That's what we're about."

we're probably not changing the world
"At the end of the day, we're probably not changing the world with most of the images we're making. Instead, I think the main opportunity to contribute to the greater good is through the relational aspect of what we do as artists. We meet and interact with people form all over the world, all the time. The ability to go beyond the creation of images and to develop a camaraderie with people ... is important. Those relationships will likely last longer than the typical lifespan of an image."
an enormous opening up
"Something magical happened that night. When I told that story, I felt an enormous listening coming from the audience, an enormous opening up. I noticed that I could look into people's eyes more when I was speaking as myself as opposed to when I was speaking in character. There was relating happening."
Make Them Think
"The reason I deal in taboo subjects is because it's more exciting, and because I also think that a comedian's job isn't just to make people laugh, it's to make them think. And I think that if you take them through territory they haven't been before, they're quite nervous, but when they come out the other end, 'Wow,' you know, they had the best rollercoaster ride ever because it was a bit scary and they didn't die. And that's the lovely thing, you know? (Laughs.) That's better than a gentle ride that you knew you weren't going to die on, but it wasn't that good either."
