Paula Scher
Design really can be anything.
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
The best way to accomplish serious design ... is to be totally and completely unqualified for the job.
Paula Scher
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.
Paula Scher
I'm not from a generation of kids that grew up on a Mac.
Paula Scher
The goal of design is to raise the expectation of what design can be
Paula Scher
It could be that going to work is better than being home. But you should never think of days as the weekend. It should all be the same, it should all be stuff you want to do. And when it isn't then you have to change it, and you have to think about how you change it.
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.
