Hey, Tim. My question addresses some of my favorite challenges on Project Runway, the ones where designers are challenged to design for more typical body shapes and sizes, including plus-size or curvy men/ women. Do you believe that the fashion world helps or hurts bigger people, and do you see any encouraging trends of designers not just catering to more typical body types, but embracing those differences and showcasing them?

Hey, Tim. Long-time Project Runway fan here (thus, a long-time Tim Gunn fan). It seems like throughout the history of the show, you've easily been able to see whether people are designing from their heart and if this is something that is truly their dream. Have you ever, whether on or off the show, critiqued someone whose seemingly small talent for designing and sewing didn't match their huge dream to do so? If so, how do you tell someone that it might be best for them to re-direct their dream?

Hey, Muhammed. I have been trying my best to keep up with developments in Syria as much as I can, being someone who's really passionate about human rights. I also love Frontline, so I've really been looking forward to your film for a long time. Can't wait to watch! My question addresses Assad's use of chemical weapons- have you personally or professionally seen the effects of his use of chemical weapons, and how has that changed the nature of the conflict? Do you know if radical groups like ISIS use things like that as recruitment tools?

Hey, Tim. One of my favorite things about you is that you always advise designers on Project Runway to fully express themselves through design and through personal expression. Do you have any advice for people who don't know how to truly express themselves or for people who are trying to find out who they are?
