Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.

It's really hard to design products by focus groups. A lot of times, people don't know what they want until you show it to them.

We don't have a good language to talk about this kind of thing. In most people's vocabularies, design means veneer... But to me, nothing could be further from the meaning of design. Design is the fundamental soul of a man-made creation.
