Jewelry is an art form, ... In conceptualizing designs for Tiffany, I worked as I always do, sketching and creating models. Sculptors and painters have inspired me with their ability to make things with their own hands. This process led to the discovery of new ways to give feeling and spirit to form, and realize our shared vision of jewelry that provides a beautiful context for living now.

One particular image of an Edwardian woman captured my imagination, ... The movement of the dress as she promenaded along the seafront provided the inspiration for the historical references and sculptured forms in the design.

[The design process is in limbo.] We have not had any contact at all, ... I can see that it's precarious.

We want that center, we yearn for it, we need it. It shouldn't look like New York or Paris, it should look like us.

I think that there is a desire on the part of the city and county to do something special there.

I hope that people will wander through it. It's a spread-out downtown. It's an L.A. downtown, it's not a New York downtown.

You've got to bumble forward into the unknown.
