I pre-dated the trend for large watches by about a decade

Yeah, my dream would be to work for 6 months and then have 6 months to play, just snowboarding, surfing, and going to cool places to listen and be alone and kinda chill out.

If you can just be yourself, then you have to be original because there's no one like you.

I made some salt and pepper shakers a while back and waited three years for them to come.

I'm always working. Like a lot of creative people I can't switch off. I can't disassociate work from pleasure. My job is my hobby.

My job as a designer is to look into the future. Not to use any frame of reference that exists

I don't have any furniture of mine in my room.

Nor law, nor duty bade me fight, Nor public men, nor cheering crowds, A lonely impulse of delight Drove to this tumult in the clouds.
