More quotes by 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

Paula Scher
I'm not from a generation of kids that grew up on a Mac.
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
If people that made products didn't market them and sell them we'd have no economy and nobody would be working.
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
We become different people and we adapt to our environments, but that doesn't have anything to do with being creative.
Paula Scher
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.
