If I get up every day with the optimism that I have the capacity for growth, then that’s success for me.
Paula Scher
Image
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
Image
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 love the big scale and immediate impact of posters. They're my favourite things to design.

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...

What I hate is when something I've done is replaced by something better than what I've done. It's really embarrassing.

Technology is something that grows and changes, and what I need to do is find out what it can do so it can do what I want it to do. And I want it to do whatever I want it to do really fast. And it's fantastic.

The work needs to get out of your head and on to the table, and it needs to be done from the heart.
Paula Scher
Image
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 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
Image
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.
Paula Scher
Image
Identities are the beginning of everything. They are how something is recognized and understood. What could be better than that?
Paula Scher
Image
Your work gets destroyed by dumb people and it gets enhanced by smart people and it really doesn't have anything to do with marketing.
Paula Scher
Image
My fear is that when you become an expert in anything then the expectation somehow makes you ordinary, in a way, because you become the firm that does that, or you become the person that does that. You really need to change the form to make the discovery.

You can build an ordinary hot dog stand or you can build a spectacular one, and you can do it sometimes without that much difference in money - if somebody thinks about it.

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