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

I never buy magazines, I never even buy books.

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

You know like it has its own personality, its own character.

I'm interested in youth culture and popular culture.

My life style in a sense is kind of private.

I have a lot of objects in my space, little things, reminders, memories.

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

I think it's really important to design things with a kind of personality.

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

Yeah, my dream would be to work for 6 months and then have 6 months to play, just snowboarding, surfing, and going to cool places to listen and be alone and kinda chill out.

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

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.

People kind of tend to mystify design and architecture by suggesting you need to train.

I don't have any furniture of mine in my room.

Design schools are good, I guess, sometimes I visit schools, but they are very very limiting.

To create well I have to be in a good mood, happy and cool.

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.

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

I'd love to be approached to do ordinary things more.

I don't like to make my life like a book.

Well, I never studied design and I went to art school to study art, you know, sculpture and things like that, and ended up making things like sculpture and started making chairs and jewelry together and that's how I started.

So if I design it and then go away, it's still living somewhere and it still exists by itself without me.

If you see something that you feel is familiar it gives you an important kind of emotional connection.

If I can feel freedom then I can create.

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

I've always listened to a lot of film music, actually.

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

So if I want to buy a light in a shop and I don't find a light that I like, I think to myself what would I like? What would I like to buy? Then I started to imagine and design it for myself a lot of the time.

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

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

Now I'm doing more snowboarding but I have to get back into surfing again.

I was surprised that the TV series was popular itself, but after that it went on to become more popular over the years and thus it seemed eventually that they would turn it into a movie.

I prefer to remember the happy things over 10 years, the things that went well. Let me see, what did go well?

What I try to do for my readers is to pass on some of the things that I found out about being thirteen after doing it for forty years.

I think I've become a much better singer and a much better player. Years and years of playing a couple of hours every day will do that.

There is no need to do any housework at all. After the first four years the dirt doesn't get any worse.

The robe of flesh wears thin, and with the years God shines through all things.

The Republicans claim they are for strengthening Pell grants when the truth is that over the last four years, their legislation has done the exact opposite.

I want to thank all the fans for their support over the years. Keep supporting the Knicks, we're moving in the right direction here and we will be exciting to watch and competing against the best in the NBA. Come back to the Garden for those exciting games.

I am told that there have been over the years a number of experiments taking place in places like Massachusetts Institute of Technology that have been entirely based on concepts raised by Star Trek.

I couldn't sleep for two years, they tried to break my nerves. They used a lot of psychology to brainwash.

What the war did was give me the opportunity of three years of continuous reading, and it was in the course of reading that I became convinced that I should become an economist.

You look at the whole Human Rights questions, I happened to be there at just the right time when the country was awakening - this goes to the first question you asked - the whole country was awakening to a hundred years of injustice that hadn't been resolved yet.

We started filming in 1993 which was only four years after the fall of communism. The difference in Budapest over the last five years has been remarkable.

I had a wonderful time with the Stones but after 31 years, I thought it was time to move on.

The average life spans of many bands are not that long, up to five years if they are lucky.

For years the Trio did nothing but play for musicians and other hip people. We practically starved to death.

Had the Hebrews not been disturbed in their progress a thousand and more years ago, they would have solved all the great problems of civilization which are being solved now under all the difficulties imposed by the spirit of the Middle Ages.
