When you have clay in your hands, it's hard to avoid making birds.

When you begin your work, nothing exists. When it is finished it looks as if it just happened, spontaneously, effortlessly, convincingly. It looks as though it had been there all along.

Art has more ego to it than what I do.

Men have no concept of how to design things for the home. Women should design the things they use.

Everything I do is a direct creation of my hands, whether it is made in wood, plaster or clay.

My time in Weimar Berlin was the most elegant in my life. I would have parties for a hundred people - writers, scientists, artists.

When I design something, I think of it as a gift to somebody else.
