I was much more interested in making things than in designing them.

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

I was sort of open to do anything, I was free.

You know that's history, that's why some people say that my stuff is retro, but I don't agree.

If somebody asked me about my inspiration I would say that it's not the peopleand it's not the things, it's travel and experiencing different environments.

But to me, to be original is to be yourself.

In Japan, Australia, and England there is such a strong youth culture.
