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.

The design industry is really pathetic.

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

Then I started to do furniture and interiors for a friend and just to get stuff in a magazine, and then slowly started to build up and started to doing exhibitions.

I have to confess that I'm in a constant state of evolution in terms of the way I feel about it. When I was doing early pieces, I wasn't exactly in love with the idea of building the stuff. I could do it because I had the skills, but I really did it because I couldn't find anyone else to build it for me.

You know some people say that you make watches or perfume bottles, it's all different things.

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