We don't do everything the same way we always did it. We just don't.
Paula Scher
The goal of design is to raise the expectation of what design can be
Paula Scher
I do different things. I'm a designer. I'm a painter.
Paula Scher
All the little risks I took were sort of like all the apartments I had moved into: I was finding the right spot.
Paula Scher
Marketing is not inherently bad. That's just dumb. That's said by somebody that isn't doing enough work.
Paula Scher
When I don't know all the rules I'm just wild.
Paula Scher
I think Apple is a wonderful example of spectacular marketing and I love having my iPod. There are the naysayers who say that nyah, nyah, it breaks and I think well, I don't like what Microsoft made...
Paula Scher
Creativity has to do with what came before you immediately, not what came before you a long time ago.
Paula Scher
What I hate is when something I've done is replaced by something better than what I've done. It's really embarrassing.
Paula Scher
I don't want being a woman to be a factor, or being short to bea factor, or being Jewish to be a factor, or anything that makes you outside some design normthat I don't understand anyway. That makes me nervous.
Paula Scher
As a painter I make up projects for myself to express myself. And there's no client, there's no direction.
