More quotes by Paula Scher
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.
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
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
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 do different things. I'm a designer. I'm a painter.
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
Words have meaning, type has spirit.
Paula Scher
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
What makes me say wow continually changes. It changes based on what I know.
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 I get up every day with the optimism that I have the capacity for growth, then that’s success for me.
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
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
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
Creativity has to do with what came before you immediately, not what came before you a long time ago.
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'm not from a generation of kids that grew up on a Mac.
Paula Scher
Marketing is not inherently bad. That's just dumb. That's said by somebody that isn't doing enough work.
Paula Scher
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
Design really can be anything.
