More quotes by 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 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.

New Zealand looks like the future to me
Paula Scher
Identities are the beginning of everything. They are how something is recognized and understood. What could be better than that?
Paula Scher
If people that made products didn't market them and sell them we'd have no economy and nobody would be working.

Having no purpose is the function of art, so somebody else can look at it and ask a question. Design is different - you're supposed to understand what's going on. You can be delighted by it, intrigued by it, but you're supposed to know it's a hot dog stand.
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
We don't do everything the same way we always did it. We just don't.

Paula Scher
When I don't know all the rules I'm just wild.
Paula Scher
You can't say there shouldn't be marketing and (that) marketing is a bad thing.
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
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
Some people are in stultifying environments where there are rigid rules and rituals and they need that to thrive, where other people are just asphyxiated by stuff like that.
Paula Scher
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
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
Beige is the color of indecision.
Paula Scher
I do different things. I'm a designer. I'm a painter.
