I made the things particularly because I wanted them to see the world.

The playful search for beauty.

I don't call myself an 'industrial designer,' because I'm other things. Industrial designers want to make novel things. Novelty is a concept of commerce, not an aesthetic concept.

When I met my designs in the market of a remote village in the West Indies, or in the airport restaurant in Zurich, I felt like the mother of many well-behaved children.

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

I never wanted to do something grotesque. I never wanted to shock. I wanted my audience to be happy, to be kind.

Beautiful things make people happy.

My designs are meant to attract the hand as well as the eye.

I think with my hands. I design things to be touched-not for a museum. A piece is ready when it has the shape of something to cherish.

If you think of beautiful things, you’re not sad.

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

Why are you troubled? Trust in God.

If we are all equal before God… …Who are you to judge?

The Patch I knew didn't run from anyone.

I believe that freedom is the deepest need of every human soul.

Words are the mind's wings, are they not?

What does it say about a president's policies when he has to use a cartoon character rather than real people to justify his record?

What you do thunders above your head so loudly, I cannot hear the words you speak.

I was really into Space Invaders in about 1978. It got me more and more interested in video games. There wasn't any media to get information about games, so I came up with Game Freak magazine.

That's why my attitude, even on my larger-scale movies, is to make them cheap. The less these things cost, the better for everybody.

As a writer, I don't think it's my responsibility to make a point. I just write and hope there's someone who'll like it.
