Things have to be beautifully made, even if they are full of fun, fantasy and futility

When I was very young, at the beginning my business was to work more than the others to show them their pointlessness.

I buy my shoes a size too small. I like the way it feels.

I have a guest house because I don't want people in my home.

No. I mean those people really did something for designers I don't think department stores can, could or should do still today. Today the world is different so you have to make it differently. There's TV. There's a lot of things.

Stuff your brain with knowledge.

I am never satisfied with myself and that is what keeps me going - I have no post-satisfaction.
