So If I Design It And Then

Studing Jewelry Gives You An Incredible Technical Background. If You Can Work On Very, Very Small Things, Then, I Think, Typically You Find It Easier To Go Bigger Rather Than The Other Way Around. I Think A Lot Of Architects Have Struggled With Small Things. Whereas If You Start Small, It's Easier To Get Bigger.

I Was Much More Interested In Making Things Than In Designing Them.

If You See Something That You Feel Is Familiar It Gives You An Important Kind Of Emotional Connection.

I'm So Immersed In My Little World That I Don't Often Sit Back And Pay Attention To What's Going On Around Me. It Truly Stuns Me When People Recognize Me. Obviously, I'm Not A Film Star, But Even At A Design Exhibition Or Art Exhibition, If Someone Comes Up To Me, I'm Sort Of Taken Aback. I Don't Think Of Myself Like That. But If I Can Have An Effect On Young Designers, That's Great - Particularly Young Designers Coming From Australia. Europeans Grew Up With Design. The Rest Of Us Lived On Tidbits Of Information.

People Kind Of Tend To Mystify Design And Architecture By Suggesting You Need To Train.
