I always drew. I was, you know, the school artist. I was the person who made the posters for the prom. That's who I was.

New Zealand looks like the future to me
Paula Scher
My work is play. And I play when I design. I even looked it up in the dictionary, to make sure that I actually do that, and the definition of “play,” number one, was “engaging in a childlike activity or endeavor,” and number two was “gambling.” And I realize I do both when I’m designing.

I think that the notion of being creative is the notion that, inwardly, you assume that many things are possible. And that you can try these things and that something will happen.

Beige is the color of indecision.

When I don't know all the rules I'm just wild.

Planning is design. As a designer what I tend to do, and what's different from being a painter, is that I interact with other people, and the people have things they need to have happen.
Paula Scher
I never thought I'd be able to design all the things I've been able to design. I thought that I'd be far more limited to a specific kind of work, and I've been able to establish an incredibly broad practice in all different ways, and it's because the expectations have gotten elevated.

I do different things. I'm a designer. I'm a painter.
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
We become different people and we adapt to our environments, but that doesn't have anything to do with being creative.
Paula Scher
I know that in my own work I'm able to do all kinds of things I never thought I'd be able to do.
Paula Scher
If I get up every day with the optimism that I have the capacity for growth, then that’s success for me.
Paula Scher
You can't say there shouldn't be marketing and (that) marketing is a bad thing.
Paula Scher
Great design is serious, not solemn
Paula Scher
What a designer does is he makes things possible that you didn't imagine could exist before, and it makes the world a better place. You know, it's a great thing to be doing. A fine artist does that, too, but they make the expression for themselves, not for others' use.
Paula Scher
Planning involves considering how other people may use something.
Paula Scher
Words have meaning, type has spirit.
Paula Scher
I get to work on things I've never done before and I get better at it, and I can do things that are innovative. Which I've done in my fifties, and want to continue to do through my sixties.
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...
