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

And where I grew up in Australia, surfing was a part of culture.

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

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

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

If I can feel freedom then I can create.

I do feel that the world is entering into a period of the incredible period of reflection and introspection. A lot of people are questioning the future, and I can't help but think that's a positive thing. I'm not sure about the art world, but the design world may be able to offer some solutions. Design is about troubleshooting. As a designer, I ultimately feel like a gun for hire. Companies hire me because they've got a problem. That's kind of what it boils down to. And I think this is a moment in our history where we need different solutions.
