Its about the power of design and the power of the human spirit. Its above paying anybody to do something stupid for money like reality television does – like ambushing people. – Genevieve Gorder
I think taking design out of the studio and really having a relationship with the people that youre making it for really convinced me of how powerful a thing design is. Its not just an aesthetic decoration. – Genevieve Gorder
That was always my frustration with so many of these shows, because design is not an ambush… its a relationship. You have to know how people move and live and work to be able to design for them. – Genevieve Gorder
The Deep South has a completely different history, both good and bad, that is fascinating for everybody. It makes people work together who usually dont, and that sounds like a cliche in so many ways, but it actually happened… and it happened because of a beautiful idea. – Genevieve Gorder
Thats a hobby of mine – to do whatever I can for unusual for-hire creative projects. I am waiting for someone to really challenge me – obviously Im often approached to do film related work, but I would be very happy to design a bar or an amusement park ride. I would love to be an imagineer! – Roman Coppola
