Paula Scher
As a painter I make up projects for myself to express myself. And there's no client, there's no direction.
Paula Scher
You need to be able to ride past the technology by understanding what it can do, who you are, and where you want to take it. You don't want technology to lead you you want to lead it, but it's very hard to do that when you're in the middle of it.
